Wow, so you have jerk cops there, too?
A few years ago, after I quit my first job (McDonald's, ugh) and had to go to the main office to return my uniform in order to get my last paycheck, I was rammed while pulling out of the parking lot.
Some guy came around a blind corner (I know for a fact it was, since I had come from that direction) doing at least 55 mph (posted speed limit was 30 IIRC) and caught my rear right quarter before I could pull ahead of him. I ended up doing a 270-degree spin in the middle of the road, and he rammed a pole.
Now, I felt bad for the guy, but there's a reason you don't speed around blind corners, wakarimasu-ka?
Anyway, I got ticketed for the incident, which incensed me to no end. Apparent;y, since I was the one not hurt, I was at fault. Or something.
Sorry about your predicament; hope you can clear it up somehow.
