phew...my first thought when i got hit was, "i hope no one just got hurt...myself included." i'm thankful no one was hurt, though the guy in the other car seemed more concerned with placing blame than with the well-being of anyone involved.

well that's a load off...hope my insurance will cover everything...

about my premium, how much might it raise? although i doubt my parents will be willing to let me drive again for a while (they were freaking out when they saw teh remains of the car, and were astounded that i was unhurt) i'm curious.

and again, about the behavior of teh officer in charge, is there anything i need to do about it?

here's the explanation of his behavior, as stated in an above post:

one thing i forgot to add: the cop in charge of the case was not pleasant...i could understand it if there was a reason not to be. my dad had asked him if he could see the witness statements, and the guy exploded...even after my dad apologized and tried to back off he kept up his rant about how had a lot to do and to stop asking him for useless things. he also tried to tell me that i wasn't wearing a seat belt (very forcefully, too) which is BS because when i took it off to get out of the demolished car, it was jammed and loose, laying on the seat. my dad pointed this out, and the officer said "you should teach your kid to tell the truth." a while later, when he was citing me, he told me to get in the police cruiser and shut the door so that my dad could not speak to me. his reasoning was that he needed to ask me questions and didn't need my father getting in teh way and talking too much. he only let my mom listen to what he was saying and my responses when she asked the other cop on the scene if she was allowed to hear the questions and answers.
