I'm just curious to know what others might do if they were in the same situation as me.
Here's the situation:
On March 18, I was leaving school and waiting in line to get out of the parking lot. Suddenly the driver of the car in front of me puts his car in reverse, mashes the gas, and BAM! into my front bumper. The damage to his car was quite severe, and the damage to my Explorer was very minimal, not even worth repairing. After we both exchanged insurance information, he claimed that I rear-ended him at 15 mph. In reality, he backed up into me at maybe 7 mph, and the damage reflects that. Unfortunately, there were no witnesses. But, his insurance company just sent me a letter saying that after their own investigation, they determined that I rear-ended him. (Of course, they never want to pay for anything they don't need to)
Now for the interesting part:
I am a senior in high school, and because I don't need to stay an entire day to meet the needed graduation requirements. I leave school at noon. Now, the other kid is a junior, and no juniors are allowed to leave early. Today, that same kid was brought into the principal's office for of all things, ditching school. So technically, the kid never should have been there in the first place.
What should I do? Is it possible to challenge is position based on integrity alone?
