vidhya Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I backed up into a USPS truck on the roadside. It was definitely illegally parked on the road side, but not sure what the rules are w.r.t USPS trucks, any idea? Will my insurance go up too?

Antey ardham enti? aite just send it to your insurance and let them talk. Since, it's parked illegally, you have the leverage. There's a good chance for your premium not to get bumped up. and to ur second question, they will just report it an accident per their policy saying minor incident involving no loss of life and minimal property damage and no citation as in no fine or penalty with in county/ city PD's authorization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already told to my insurance, will send the accident report once I get it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will my insurance go up too? were you coming out of parking space? since it's a USPS truck, what I knew from past experience is that USPS or any postal trucks can park anywhere unless there is a board that says no parking... if you were backing our of parking space then it is your responsibility to make sure there are no obstructions or else you are responsible for any damages...

Nothing happened to the USPS truck though, but I got a big dent 😟. Let's see if I get accident forgiveness or something. Anyway, thanks for the inputs 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
