Happened this afternoon.
Someone in front of me signals he/she is turning right, basically leaves the lane while slowing down.
Finds out it is not an exit but a bus stop and comes back into my lane.
I have to brake, person behind me wasn't paying attention (phone ?)
My dashcam video doesn't look as violent, but I have a stiff shoulder/neck.

The airbag of the other car deployed and radiator got so deformed that it started leaking.

Gave the lady water, called the cops.
Even helped push the car around the corner after the police were done making a report.
I wanted to keep the rav4, lease ends 3 months from now. Am not so sure anymore.
My insurance company (AAA) wants me to go to a body shop they "know"
I am afraid it won't be done according to Toyota's satisfaction _if_ I decide to turn it in.
Is the best bet to get a quote from/through a toyota dealer ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
