I posted here a while back about having been in my first at-fault fender-bender. Low speed, I was an idiot. Anyway, I decided it would be best to report it ad get everything fixed by the book. ~00 on my car, I dunno yet what was on the other guy's, but it was really just a scraped rear bumper corner and slight scrape on the side panel, so probably not too much. GEICO maybe paid 00 total. I'll probably see the details sometime or other. So. Impact on my insurance? It went *down*, from 4 to 8/6 mos. And after I took a defensive driving course thinking to head the adjusters off at the pass, it went down further, to 2. That includes collision (0 deductible) and full glass, and is about on par with the insurance for my old 85 Pontiac wagon, on which I didn't have collision. 94 Civic EX. Apparently I got lucky, though as I said, they didn't have to spend much. I'm a little paranoid about landing in another mishap that will be more severe, but given that I've managed for 16 years without anything at-fault, I'll hope for the best. Let's hear it for that 10% discount for that defensive driving course. through AAA and 6 hours of my time. Not a bad course, either.
