    This.

    I had someone merge lanes into me. I sensed it, evaded them, and drove up onto the curb. Wound up with a couple thousand dollars in damage - new tire, wheel, rim, control arm, and strut.

    Without video footage of the incident, I would have had to rely on my insurance company taking my word for it.

    Catalyst for the purchase was many years earlier where I was hit by a drunk driver at 2AM while making a left turn at an intersection, it was raining and they did not have their headlights on, they had two friends with them and I was alone.

    Insurance ruled that, based on the point of impact, I was at fault.
