Car

[bertine]

$9400 of damage.

It turns out I was hitting the brakes when I hit her which is nice to know. They can tell because if I hadn't hit my brakes the nose wouldn't have gone down and I would have hit her with my bumper and there would have been different damage. Funny that they can tell that. Even funnier that I honestly can't remember much other than looking over my shoulder to see if someone was in my blind spot, looking up to see a car stopped, hearing a lot of crashing noise and yelling "FUCK" when the airbag went off.

Anyways, the accident didn't touch the frame which I had a feeling that it didn't when I drove it off the freeway because if I hadn't been driving with a deployed airbag I wouldn't have known my car had been in an accident. Now I am waiting to hear from the shop to see what the next step is. I am pretty sure it is waiting for them to repair it for the next month, paying them $750 dollars and then seeing my insurance rates go up. Oh well.

Only for divorces!

What does that mean? Property division independent of the reason for divorce?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

It means you're allowed to file for divorce without saying someone's to blame or that you have a reason.

Not saying you're not ALLOWED to blame the hell out of each other, just that you don't have to.

In Ontario, you can divorce without reason after a year of separation. Earlier if abuse or adultery were involved.

If abuse or adultery were involved, it's not really without a reason!

so I guess Ontario isn't no-fault.

However (bringing this back to Bertine), our auto insurance is.

I've never heard of auto insurance NOT trying to blame, well, everyone in the entire universe.

Yeah. Your rates go up, regardless of blame.
