Don't worry about it. If someone dings your car, just find some expensive car and park next to it. Make sure you write down its license number. Then tell the court that the expensive car dinged you (intentionally or not). Galt said that is preponderance of the evidence. Make sure that the expensive car does not have any dings in it or else they might countersue and since they have a preponderance of the evidence fixing their car might be expensive. |

Actually, that advice might have made his fatal incident survivable. If you look at the footage, it appears that his car "caught" and drove straight into the wall at a decent clip.
