Do you know how much hassle there is for her to go thru ICBC, arrange to fix her car, take it to a body shop, get a rental, etc, etc on top of her geriatric schedule of bingo nights and Metamucil? Have some fucking compassion.

ICBC is the way to go. You will be considered at-fault for the claim, so you can either pay for Grandma's repair, and get no premium hit, or you can let ICBC pay it all and get knocked down some notches on the discount scale.

At 25-30% you move down 5 steps, which would put you at 0% or 5% discount.
My dad got into an at-fault fender bender in a parking lot. He was driving my mom's car. I was trying to help them decide whether it was worth paying for the damages, since the cost would be fairly minor. After discovering my mom was at -20 on the scale, we decided to let ICBC field this one.

here is a better idea if the damage on the suv is really just scratches and scuffs like you said go hire a professional detailer. you'd be surprised what cut polish and touch-up paint can do.

I hope your car is silver.
It hides damages better. I still have damages across the side of my car and haven't fixed it for over 2 years. I got used to it |

the problem with manual is that for people who have autostart than cannot put it into gears, otherwise autostart will not work. Therefore the only thing they can rely on is e-break.
