I also had an "encounter" with a female in a Prius one evening on the freeway at rush hour, but it was a much different situation.
The traffic was stop-and-go and I braked my F-150 to a sudden stop and I felt an impact in the rear?
Could not see a vehicle in my rearview, but pulled to the shoulder. I then saw a small white car in the side mirror, and it turned out to be a Prius!
After quickly calling 911, I checked on the driver, and she was fine, but the Prius was not. My receiver hitch punched through the plastic to her radiator and left a big "H" showing in the front end!
She was a nice young lady, but did receive a ticket.
When Geico contacted me I told them just my receiver was a little scratched, so they sent me a check for $500 bucks.
I did feel sorry for the lady, but certainly NOT the Prius!
