Happened yesterday, right after work.

I was going 50 km/h, proceeding though the intersection. Normal speed limit on this street is 80 km/h, but speeds were reduced due to some road work in the leftmost lanes. The green Ford Escape was stopped at the Yield sign. At the last second, he accelerates into my lane. I didn't have much time or room to react appropriately, and I did honk, swerve and brake to try to avoid the collision, but he just kept going and hit me. I was the only one in the car at the time. No injuries to anyone involved, and I had two witnesses volunteer their information to provide support.
This sucks because it's been such a long time since I've been involved in a multi vehicle collision, and I just had my wheels repaired and refinished. Judging by the rim damage, they'll have to replace it and then repaint it to match the other wheels. But hey, at least nobody was injured. Could have been much worse if this happened while the speed limit wasn't reduced.

Oh boy. I am so sorry. Looks like you just cannot get a break. I hope they can fix it quickly. Good thing no one was injured. Wish you all the best.Happened yesterday, right after work.

Thanks! Yeah it's more annoying than anything else. Could have been a lot worse.

The video and pics hurt me. A lot. But you're right, it could have been worse and I'm glad to know everyone's good. It WILL get fixed and make sure you share pics of when it's done.

Will do! I had planned to do a full paint correction earlier this month too, but I had to wait for the polisher I had ordered to arrive. Just got word that it's available for pickup today. At least I didn't waste time polishing that side up, haha.
Im thinking maybe some vinyl wrap from auto store/Amazon ~ $10-$20
Someone else on this forum did just that. I plan to do it if mine gets too scratched up. The only challenge is keeping the PNRD letters.
Check his post with how he did it and with what material

Check out Rvinyl - I've purchased several kits from them already and I'm very happy with the quality of their products. Their CX-9 kit includes everything to cover areas that will attract fingerprints. Their kit often includes enough pieces for TWO installations - I guess meant to make use of the entire vinyl sheet they use. I still have an extra complete set from the original kit I purchased.

Ugh. So painful to see. I agree it's very annoying for everyone involved. Just the sheer amount of idiot drivers I see on the roads today is concerning. I wonder if this is the case in all parts of Canada/the world (not just the GTA; for you Canadians out here).
The worst of it: you can be the best, most cautious/defensive driver out on the road, but you can't control/correct for all of the other morons.

I hear you. I had another close call yesterday while making a left turn into a parking lot. A car exiting the parking lot was focusing solely on the oncoming traffic and didn't see me turning in front of him until I laid on the horn.
Pardon the crappy snip & sketch work, lol. I'm green, red car is other driver, blue car is oncoming traffic. Orange dots are the active turn signal indicators. I had already started to turn when the red driver started to accelerate to beat the blue car. He would have hit me if I hadn't been paying attention and jumped on the horn early. His reaction time was terrible, almost 3 seconds of laying on the horn until he actually hit the brakes. SMH
Is that carbon tax helping with that?
I haven't seen the carbon tax improve anything in BC yet.
I got a sheet hepa and cut it down to fit last year.
Sorry to hear of this unfortunate circumstance with her. But I am pleased u r ok and it’s not that bad as I’ve seen much worse. You will definitely have to source used if not otherwise Japan as they hardly have part in the USA for the cx9 which I’m sure affect you in CA also. I’m glad you are fixing her and will be back to the day u got her once complete. Your maintenance preventatives enable her to keep running like like new. I showed a prior post to a tech and he suggested I copied if keeping mine.Happened yesterday, right after work.

Thanks @Hhova29, appreciate the tip on sourcing used parts but I think the insurance company and the dealership will want to source the new doors direct from the factory first. If they can't, then we'll be looking at used doors for sure.

Thanks Antoine! Yeah it was a good thing we were travelling at reduced speeds due to roadwork two lanes over. I was also the only person in the car at the time. Could have been a lot worse, that's for sure.
