  • OMG! seriously, I hope they sue and this goes viral online and across the media stations.

  • I am not shocked at all - that is how I have repeatedly witnessed NY drivers driving - as though life was a bumper car game - and pedestrians are fair game -

  • Guy shooting the vid is priceless, screaming like there was a baby in a stroller under the wheels. You got video of it, looks like a slam dunk insurance claim. The car wasn't even close to destroyed, probably drove it to the repair shop...

  • No way they drove to the repair shop...

    They never finished plowing out the street. Bet that car and its bumper are still sitting there. #-o

  • Brooksignal = the guy that won't try and help get your car not get smashed

    Other people on the street were also trying to stop the driver, good pedestrians.

  • I read somewhere that it was a city owned vehicle. Doh!

    My only complaint is that the guy didn't throw some clothes on and go down to videotape the damage to the car.

  • the second post above from ny mag says the explorer was a city car. so nobody's going to sue anyone and we all get to pay.

  • NY is no fault. Explorer's insurance company will pay the damages automatically without sending a bill to the City. Under normal circumstances the driver at fault would only suffer paying a higher premium but since it's likely the City is self insured absolutely nothing will happen.

    The only protest here would be a minuscule fractional rise in insurance premiums for everyone associated with the Explorers insurance company. No lawyers needed contrary to the voice over.

  • Your insurance premium cannot be raised for filing a claim if

    Your car was legally parked when it was damaged

    Your are hit from behind

    The other driver leaves the scene (hit and run)

    The other driver is issued a citation for traffic violation (only happens if the cops actually witness the violation)
