Attention SUV owners! When changing lanes, please look out for us little people. We can do wonders to your car insurance rates. Thanks.

So, the story. I’m going to a movie at Lakeline Mall with some friends and I’m driving in my lane in that little loop that runs around the mall and then an SUV starts to change lanes on top of me. I hit the brakes but that’s all I could do, she smashed right into me.

Now for the supposition. I can only presume I was in her blind spot because my front hit her right between the front wheel and her driver’s door. Her SUV was also high off the ground, and I’m not, so that supports it. Fact is, though, I was in my lane moving forward and she was switching lanes and hit me. We’ll see if the insurance companies agree.
