What happens when you hit a guardrail?
However, failing to alert the police of the accident constitutes a “hit and run” when it involves property damage. Most states count a hit and run as a misdemeanor, which carries a jail term of up to six months and other fines and penalties, such as a license suspension.
Why did my car hit the guard rails?
Thank you so much for any information (even if it is “bad”). Others who have hit guard rails at higher speeds probably had the body absorb the impact. This kept the suspension parts from absorbing the impact of the crash. However, body and paintwork is expensive.
What was the speed at which I slid into a guard rail?
I slid in to a metal guard rail on the side of an icy road yesterday at a speed of about 15 mph. The front passenger side of my car ‘drove’ along the rail for several feet before I was able to get back on the road.
How did the other driver hit my tire?
The other driver hit my tire hard enough that the tire is tilting inward. The alignment is totally off and and it’s difficult to steer the car. I could smell something burning too in the short 1/2 block drive back to my house.
What to do if your front wheel is damaged?
Insurance adjuster and good body shops are trained. Also make sure if wheel is alloy and damaged it gets replaced. Without seeing the car it is nearly impossible to tell. You could need new control arms, steering knuckle, tie rod, strut, steering rack, transmission, wheel, tire, brake lines, a number of things may or may not be damaged.
