It was on Wilshire Blvd. at 6pm on a Saturday night (everyone about to go to Westwood and Beverly Hills). I rear-ended a Cadillac Seville at approximately 3 miles per hour (no damage whatsoever sustained to either vehicle) while almost having been rear-ended myself. I chose to give the *yahoo* behind me as much room as necessary, as I did not relish having my 1966 Mustang (original, nearly mint) cruched. This man then proceeded to take down all of my information (CDL#, insurance, etc.) IN THE MIDDLE OF WILSHIRE BOULEVARD. This .... wouldn't even let me pull over to the side of the road. The jist of this ....'s conversation was to the extent that he and his wife were on there way to dinner, and that they would now be late. I myself was on my way to a fraternity dinner in Beverley Hills, but this made no difference to the ....! As a result, I was subsequently (1 month later) sued for personal injury and property damage. I agree that it was my fault for having hit the man's car, but the fact that he sued me for his having been late to dinner is, along with his whole attitude, in my opinion, pretty RUDE. My insurance company is currently handling the matter. They (I hope) should give this bum and his shyster lawyer a hell of a fight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go ahead LA drivers, flame me, make my day...
