This is why insurance premiums in NJ are rediculous...cause everyone is sue happy. You moved, you did the right thing. Sorry about the car - hopefully that prick's Audi will get keyed up one day. However, in NJ there is a balanced negligence law (my mom worked for an accident attorney for 20 years). Since you and Audi Boy were both moving, both of you are at fault for at least a percentage...usually 10% to 20%. Thats the law. Then the insurance co's go to mitigation. And your rates get jacked cause you need your car fixed and it comes out of your insurance co's pocket while in mitigation. Then, 3 years after you sell the car, you'll get a check for half of the damages since the insurance co's decided to split it.

As for suing for bodily injury...would you want to take a chance on not walking properly, or having back spasms for the rest of your life to get 1 or 2 million dollars? That's a lot of money, but when you wake up every morining in excrutiating pain, you'd gladly give back that money for your health. Trust me - I've met many people in that position.

Do yourself a favor - slow down. I know, not only does that suck, but its hard to do. Speeding is worse an addiction that drugs. I almost lost my license, twice, so I know how thrilling it is. I got a ticket for going 165mph on Rt 3. I had my old Ninja out one night at like 2:30am, and hit the gas on Rt 3 E.B by the Pkwy, and held the throttle wide open until I got to the top of the hill next to Roche Pharma. The dotted lines looked like one white line - super intense. But I didnt see the police since I was going so fast. I slowed down and eventually they caught up with me...a few miles down on Rt 21. 5 points, just like that.
