A couple nights ago, I got into an accidcent (in my brand new car!). It started when I was racing this guy in a Jetta, 14 valve i think. We were going up west shawson and all the sudden he slammed on his breaks. To avoid hitting him, I switched in the right lane. I guess he got the same idea to avoid hitting the car in front of him (which happened to be a cop and was the reason of him slamming on his breaks) and he switched right over in front of me. So I ended up rear ending him enough to crack my bumper, push it up into my headlights a little bit, scratch the paint all up, and chip off some of the paint on his back bumper. The cops end up charging him with a DUI, so in their eyes, the accident was probably his fault. Now, the question is, who do you think the liability would fall on according to the insurance companys, considering he was drunk, switched over in my lane, giving me no time to react, and almost rearing a cop? This is a hard one. Either way, I am still getting an aftermarket bumper for my car out of this.

You were racing. You're both at fault, and your insurance company will likely read this. Good luck.

the insurance company doesn't have to know that you were "racing." Unless it was explicitly written in the police report... other than that point, I don't see how any could be traced back to you.
