Website design By BotEap.comFuddle drives his beat-up van at high speed, heading east on Elm Street. As he approaches the intersection of Main and Elm, he has a green light. He continues, perking up below the posted speed limit. Too late, Fuddle realizes that he has a red light. He hits the brakes, leaving 70 feet of skid marks behind him as he flies toward the intersection. The front of his van hits your left rear with a loud bang. His arm hits the steering wheel and the $300.00 watch his wife gave her for his last birthday breaks. Property damage to his motor vehicle will be determined to be $1,700.
