RE: So I'm getting a new truck
I T-boned a 96 impala at an uncontrolled intersection. He had his lights off on a crappy rainy day, but he was coming from my right so technically he had the right of way. It'll probably go 50/50 for liability. Hitting him spun the truck around and down a ditch where that back door met up with a telephone pole. I had 3 passengers with me, no one was hurt. The driver of the other car was driving from the passenger side (no the steering wheel/pedals aren't on that side of the car) which saved his life. He came out with 3 cuts but nothing else. So yea, everyone is fine.

left foot for the pedal, left hand for the wheel. He's a rural mail carrier and I guess they do that often. He didn't bail, or slow down, because he didn't see me.

I dunno, I think you could get 100% coverage on your side as he was obviously operating a vehicle improperly....and that alone could be seen as at fault against him. Definitely talk with a lawyer...

RE: So I'm getting a new truck
I agree with DevilsReject, he was not operating the vehicle in a legal manner. I would fight it to keep your record clean. Who needs higher insurance with gas prices the way they are.
