If you have a nice car like the camaro call the police every time. A lot of people won't do the right thing once they leave the spot where they hit you. So get a police report. The police will make sure they have up to date insurance and drivers license and will fill out this info on the report.

A few years back my new xterra was hit by a lady and even with the police report she tried to get her insurance company not to pay. They paid because they couldn't dispute the police report. So if I would have gotten just her info without the report I would have been stuck with my insurance footing the bill and paying my 500.00 deductible out of my pocket.

The first question your insurance company asks when you call them is " are you ok". The second is " did you get a police report?".

she doesn't know your witnesses are your friends go to the cops, file a report, list your witnesses and make her insurance pay up.

I had someone back into my door of my 3000GT VR4 while legally parked, it ended up costing her 2500.00; like the others say move fast.

Oh and tell your friends to just be witnesses, no need to mention you hangout.
