Do you have to have a police report to file an insurance claim? Do you have to call it in and wait for an officer on a fender bender?
Looks like my proactive approach to driving/riding may be the way to go.
Go fast and stay ahead of the distracted drivers. Always have a plan to evade someone trying to kill you.
My little dab of professional driving instruction did sink in one reminder. No matter what, always have a place to go.
The officer will be able to provide you with a crash number, and that is all your insurance should need to move forward. Also, state law mandates that any crash involving $1000 or more of damage be reported. This is essentially a scratch on a newer car though.
