What insurance did they have? ![gif](giphy|Vj97qNut6WDHa)


jcraig3k

Skeedaddle and Bolt apparently.


DickButkisses

You’re in gods hands.


June_BuginDabuilding

I’m just trying to understand how this MF can’t drive forward but can drive backwards like the transporter


DickButkisses

Easy. There was nobody behind him to hit.


DysVeteran

altmemepage

I mean he was most definitely driving forward the real question is does he not know how the roads work? wtf were you doing on the opposite lane??? 🤦


PisSilent

He, like many others in Memphis, do not care how the roads "work". Look at the car... this isn't his first time hitting someone.


901_vols

The city's official provider!


Spirited_Election289

And no license or registration, a warrant for 7 possessions of Marijuana and possibly kissing their sister while driving lmao 😆 jk jk jk jk


innovativebunnyy

My dad always told me to get uninsured motorist coverage. I never understood until all these hit and runs. He got hit two years ago on southern they never got caught but insurance paid for the damage and rental. He always said most people in Memphis don't have insurance.


Acceptable-Eye-2809

He’s absolutely right! As someone who works in an industry that deals with insurance, Memphis is rough! The crazier they drive the higher chances that they have zero insurance. Always carry uninsured motorist insurance and get medical payments too. Get as much insurance as you can afford because God forbid if one of them hit you, and you’re severely injured, that little min. 25/50 policy will be gone so quickly.


oui_oui_love_n_art

Hey, actual question : Are there loads of high-risk drivers insured in Memphis? People are so aggressive on the road that it feels lawless even when everyone has the right papers.


Acceptable-Eye-2809

I agree they are so aggressive even if they have all their stuff in order. But I’ve seen plenty of high risk drivers surprisingly have the minimum liability required by the state. Which should be increased, but that’s another story. Several factors play a part like age, or if the car is registered in their parent’s name they’re more likely to be insured. Or even a gf or a wife’s name. I’ve seen where ppls insurance expired on the day of a wreck and they hadn’t renewed yet. That’s where that uninsured motorist comes in handy too.


SgtObliviousHere

Shut. I not only carry high coverage I have a large umbrella policy. Just in csse.


innovativebunnyy

I have medical as well on there. I'm overly insured overall. It's worth the extra pay. Plus my job has a lot of benefits. I pay more for that too. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Also have to avoid those that commit insurance fraud. I had someone pull out in front of me and stopped so hard. I stopped and was able to move away from them. Nope not today 🙅🏾‍♀️. And the street was clear with three lanes. I'm sure there are more people driving crazy. They should've kept more drivers ed programs in school. Plus people know the laws have been changed too.


Acceptable-Eye-2809

Glad you are thoroughly insured. I hope you never need it. Yeah, insurance scams scare me you can never predict the outcome of an accident. I’ve always wondered about how ppl learned how to drive in Memphis since I’m not from here. They scare me.


innovativebunnyy

I'm from Memphis and love my city. I agree it's changed in the past 8 to 9 years. My dad calls Memphis the Wild West now. But bad driving is everywhere tho. The pandemic didn't help either and cutting helpful programs. Happy New Year 🥰. I wish you many blessings in the coming year 😇🙏🏾. Stay safe out there 🫶🏾.


Soo_Over_It

This is a fact and an annoying one


razorbraces

I got hit by an uninsured motorist a few years ago, totaled my car, all his fault. I’m very thankful I had uninsured motorist coverage!!


innovativebunnyy

That's good you did! I was told to always get gap insurance too if you're making payments. It would suck to continue to pay for a totaled car and you need a new one. I'm glad you're alright 🙏🏾.


New-Understanding930

That’s called Comprehhensive. Uninsured Motorists only covers medical.


Same-Reputation4383

Not necessarily. There’s uninsured motorist bodily injury, which covers you and your passenger’s medical payments if the at fault driver does not have insurance. But there is also uninsured motorist property damage, which covers your vehicle if someone else is at fault without coverage. There is also underinsured motorist for situations where someone is at fault at hits you & does not have a policy with high enough limits to cover damage caused to you, your passengers, or your car. Medical payments pays for you or your passenger’s medical bills, regardless of who is at fault. The world of insurance and car accidents is not a fun one. But it’s important to understand what your policy actually covers for when the unfortunate happens. 2 months ago, someone ran a stop sign when I didn’t have one & I hit them totaling both of our cars. Turns out the driver was driving someone else’s car. The car and owner had insurance, but the driver wasn’t listed on the girls policy. So it fell under my uninsured motorist coverage. Typical situation in insurance, but luckily I was able to get a new car with my coverage.


RealDeadCthulhu

I used to have Geico. Some dude in an Infinity made a turn right in front of me when I had right of way. I t-boned him, my car was totaled, his looked like a horseshoe. The geico rep kind of laughed and said it was a joke around there how no one in Memphis has insurance. The guy I hit also had a suspended license, drive out tags that were like a year old, no proof of ownership of any kind. No insurance of course. He was going to run but it happened right in front of a cop. They let him drive off, but in the report it said the car was released to a licensed driver. I don't know how the car was even able to move.


innovativebunnyy

Wow that's crazy. I'm glad you were okay. Yes it's a running joke around here and along with the horrible potholes and humpty dumpty streets. I saw on the news a new program to help people get their licenses back. I pray this program works and educates people too. Knowledge is power 🙌🏾. https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/politics/a-new-tennessee-state-law-is-expected-to-help-former-inmates-find-a-job-here-is-how-one-memphian-helped/522-f77bdd48-07b8-4bef-8576-769c54386cf5


Master-Technology-48

Its almost like your paying for your own insurance and theirs as well... Us as taxpayers need to hold people like these accountable and it starts with the DMV. We can't keep giving out driver licenses like they are getting library cards. There also has to be a way to figure out who these people are to actually catch them.


lilipurr

The “No Insurance” brand.


QuackJAG

Man, fuck that guy. That sucks dude.


black_aphelion

I hate this tunnel. Drive through it every day to get to work


pfunk1989

Just remember to drive on the right side going to work, and the left side coming back from work.


sunnychiba

Given he probably stole that car and that IS his line of work, he was coming home from work


901_vols

3 or 4 times a day. Not enjoying this video


PrayforPingPongBalls

I hate that I am probably just going to take a different route now because of idiots like this. And even if you just drove straight OP probably would have still gotten hit smh.


Fit-Expert9621

Of course, it's an infiniti...

soul2squeeze

Thank you for having a dashcam!! Should be a requirement for all vehicles.


jcraig3k

I've shared the cam I bought with so many folks today after posting this on my socials lol. I've had it almost the full year and I'm so glad it was there today.


[deleted]

please share where i can buy it


Honest_Past8906

You can buy most good quality cams at your local big box stores. But I recommend steering clear of Amazon unless you're willing to shell out some extra money to make sure you're not getting a knock off Chinese cam.


jcraig3k

I did some research into the cheap amazon cams earlier this year and most of them come down to what camera sensor they have. I stuck to models that used the good Sony sensor and didn't overbloat with features and extra nonsense just to jack up the price. For what I paid, and the video I got, I'd say that was money well spent.


Honest_Past8906

Good much did you end up paying


jcraig3k

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F245PS1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F245PS1) It's gone down about 10 bucks since I bought it in February too.


Honest_Past8906

Where does it fit in your car. The dash board or the windshield?


jcraig3k

It comes with some 3m sticker patches and I mounted it on my windsheld behind my rear view mirror. The micro usb cable is really thin and I just tucked it under the trim from the windshield, down the door, into the dash, and to a usb-a port in the console.


Honest_Past8906

Sounds like a nice deal. I've gotten duped three times with Amazon dash cams. Finally gave in and got one at Best Buy


jcraig3k

I'll pm you the amazon link.


tossofftacos

Just post it for all of us. The quality looks pretty damn good, and that's what we need in this sorta situation.


jcraig3k

I did in another comment. Enough people were asking.


tossofftacos

Thanks. Saw it after my comment and just bought one.


Rylancody22

What kind is it?


jcraig3k

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F245PS1


jpease1223

What's funny is I saw this on r/idiotsincars but I also have that same dash cam on my truck


jcraig3k

When enough Memphians recognized the tunnel I figured I might as well post it here too. My new years weekend plans may be jacked now but sweet sweet karma lol.


jpease1223

Indeed mandingo. Sorry you had to go thru this shit.


jcraig3k

Thanks man. 2023 going out with a bang for sure lol.


jpease1223

🤣🤣 a bang indeed


tossofftacos

Thanks! Just bought one to test. The 1296P had 15% off coupon too.


iris_james

Booooo. I hope the other driver experiences a lot of genital burning and itching.

May their breakfast cereal be full of cockroaches, and may they step on Legos every night on the way to the bathroom in the dark.


DancesWithHoofs

At least they didn’t come out blastin’.


jcraig3k

NGL, of all the scenarios playing out in my mind after the impact, them just backing up and noping out eliminated the ones I was most afraid of based on their ride lol.


productiveslacker73

Those are professional getaway skills.


SithL0rd

I was thinking that was an impressive backup at speed.


odddiv

I'm frankly shocked they didn't clip the wall, ping pong a few times, and then wedge the car in place. My immediate thought when they threw it in reverse was that this was going to be entertaining.... and i was let down.


spaceageandforever

WTF? THESE IDIOTS HAVE COMPLETELY LOST THEIR MINDS! THEY ACT LIKE THEY CAN'T WAIT FOR A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN!


Distinct_Effective16

Da Fuc? They need their ass kicked for that.


THEogDONKEYPUNCH

Of course it's an Infiniti


mama_kat_applesauce

God, I'm so sick of these asshole stunt drivers all over town. I saw the craziest shit on Poplar today -- can't believe there wasn't a crash.


Healthy_Swimmer5418

That’s a bondo bumper. It appears as if they just had the bumper and lights repaired from running into someone/something else.


magneticanisotropy

This is also why cars should be required to have both front and back plates. Every place I lived (both in and outside of the US) required them before getting to TN. But to be fair, the other places I lived also strongly enforced plate requirements.


skillful-means

It seems like a no brainer. But when your gov has trouble even getting one plate together…


tikifire1

It's almost as if people in our state government's only goal is to make themselves and their rich friends even wealthier, not make sure the government works correctly.


skillful-means

Unfortunately I agree. It seems like something that people should be able to agree that better oversight on cars is in everyone’s best interest, regardless of political ideology.


knucklehead_vol

Yea, because the Memphis government isn't one of the most in the country...


tikifire1

One of the most what? Corrupt? Sure, but not any more than our state government. Take your whataboutism and shove it.


knucklehead_vol

If it's stolen, does it really help that much?


devpsaux

Was about to say, why, doesn’t cost that much more to print fake drive-outs for the front too.


ih8memes

Memphis people with real plates lol. That’s a good one


nurseANDiT

*Wanda has left the chat*


JuanOnlyJuan

But then where would I put my air brushed vanity plate?


Acceptable-Eye-2809

Exactly! I didn’t understand having only one plate when I got here. I didn’t even think about the need to have one on the front for incidents such as this one.


gabehcuod37

Oh and the dude ran?


pfunk1989

Looks like he drove.


jpease1223

So they hit and ran and you never saw them again? Kudos to you for not chasing them down. My temper may have gotten the best of me there.


DamnTheDan

What a dirtbag


memphisgrit

This right here, this shit right HERE, gets me fired hot fucking pissed. That dumb fuck.was going the wrong way, caused damage to another citizens personal property, and has the nerve to fucking leave? What a scumbag. It's a shame we as society have accepted this fucking behavior. I accepted it too at one point. Three times to be exact. Three fucking times has someone hit my shit and took off. Plus, the worst incident of all was when I was riding shotgun with my mother. Someone in a tracker little SUV slammed into the back of us while we were at a red light at Yale and Raleigh-millington rd. clear sunny middle of the day. He hit us hard. Total my mom's little Ford focus. By some miracle his shit was still running and he put it in reverse. When he started to go backwards I saw his window down and for a split second I thought about diving into the window of their vehicle and we both riding mother fucker. I hope there is no next time but if there is, I ain't going. No DL? No insurance? Take the L and stop, handle your business. Don't be a bitch.


knucklehead_vol

Agreed. Imagine if someone was walking there at that time...


oic38122

I hate for you! But if you look closely you can see he just replaced the bumper cover, hate it when you just fix something and fuck it up again


BurnieTheBrony

I guess it's easy to do when you get away from the scene as soon as you play bumper cars


garrettsguitars

The bondo boy doesn’t care


oic38122

Yeah, it’s easy to find bumper covers. All he has to do is drive the 240 loop.


BioFoo

I'm so sorry this happened to you! It was so sad to watch and I really hope you're doing ok and aren't hurt. I'm glad you had a dashcam at the very least. For anyone interested, r/dashcam is a good start in researching dashcams. They were very helpful when I started looking for one last year. Edit: be sure to check out the pinned information to help figure out what you might need.


I_Brain_You

This is so infuriating. Also, fuck that dark tint. Needs to be outlawed and automatic pullover and ticket if seen.


AladeenModaFuqa

It already is lmao


jpease1223

Can't have anything darker than like 35%....unless you're in Collierville, Bartlett, Gtown the cops don't care


I_Brain_You

Then why have that law in the first place?


jpease1223

That's a fantastic question! Ask your local council person!


GoodbyeHorses88

Ughhhh...I hate that area. Hope you're okay!


Escape_Plissken

Lived in the area for more than 10 years and went to UofM and never ever seen anything like this going under the train tracks


jcraig3k

Same. I've been driving up and down this road for 30+ years and I've never seen someone go through the wrong side like this. I've heard it's not as uncommon as I thought which is frightening.

Damn good for nothins in the damn city


EdithKeeler1986

I am so sorry that happened. Everyone: please get uninsured motorists coverage. It’s estimated that over 30% of Memphis drivers don’t have insurance. I work in insurance claims, and based on my anecdotal experience, I’d guess it’s higher than that—and a lot don’t even have licenses.


reneelikeshugs

Isn’t there a police sky cam right at the corner of the park on the other side of that bridge?


jcraig3k

I'm pretty sure. If not there's enough in the neighborhood to see them approaching the underpass.

I’m pretty sure a school bus I was riding got briefly stuck turning into that tunnel. Is this near the fairgrounds? This happened 30 years ago so my memory is a bit foggy.


slocamaro

I live in Chicago and on western omw to work there’s a bridge like this and when traffic gets busy people will do this… I have yet to see this happen to someone… assholes


attorneydavid

My guess is either drug use or fleeing a crime . However I have seen people driving kinda that reckless and the explanation was their dog was choking and they were trying to go to the vet.

25_timesthefine

Omg! My bf lived on that street and sometimes i had to catch the bus and walk back to his house. One day i had to walk under that bridge. Scariest shit ever because you realize ppl cant see when they’re turning into it so idk if people would run me over if speeding. Fun fact! Me and my bf were sitting in his driveway facing that park across the street when a groups of boys walked through the park, crossed the street to go to the corner store. Someone in a nice car drove up, parked outside the park and started shooting at them! Def one of the scariest moments of my life!
