Get em boys. Mailmen cruising along at 10 maybe 15 mph acting like they own the world. Get em...

My last car was totaled by a runaway mail truck.

The mailman got out to deliver a package to my neighbor and forgot to engage the parking brake.

His truck rolled down a steep hill about 250ft before slamming into my vehicle.

The insurance guy was like, 'Who was driving?' Uh, NOBODY. Neither car has a driver.

Dealing with the govt insurance was bullshit. I had to get my insurance company to deal with it.

I worked for USPS during Covid, and a guy at out office did this, but instead went through someone's fence and into their yard. He was brand new, and he drove off, went straight back to the office, and resigned. Didn't tell anyone what happened, just disappeared and left it to the resident or neighbors to report it. Don't know what happened to him, but it was a pretty messed up situation.

BTW, USPS vehicles aren't insured, they have to pay out of pocket. Not surprised they gave you the run around.

Always wondered what would happen if either a mail truck got pulled over or got into an accident. There’s no license plates on those things.

I looked it up once, each vehicle does have a unique identifying number on it that acts like their license plate.
