A young girl came to a dead stop in the middle of an intersection claiming that a car in front of her had done the same. I slowed down, bit still hit her at about 5-10 miles per hour. She apologized profusely. I only carry PLPD coverage on my commuter car with 180,000 miles on it and knew I wouldnt be seeking out a claim for the damage. We called the police, who said they would not come to the scene of our accident. I knew I wouldn’t make a claim and she had very minimal damage.
