Came around a turn, kid driving a 99 accord was passing a horse carriage. Yea, you read that right. Two donkeys pulling a carriage down a two lane road with a speed limit of 50 mph. I hit the brakes, and caught his back end as he finally moved over. Cop told both of us to head to the courthouse in a few days to find out the official report. I didn't get a ticket. I'm not sure if the other driver did. I've never been in a wreck before, so I don't know if this is normal procedure.

No people were hurt... just two 6th gens.

Yea, we avoided a slaughter, luckily. I'm hoping I can salvage it, but isn't a car considered totaled if the air bags go off?

Glad no one was hurt, and it depends on the airbags and damage. The bags can go off with a hit in the parking lot, so you will have to get an claims adjuster to determine that for you.

no, usually it's deemed totalled if the cost of the repairs could equal more than half the value of the car, that damage looks repairable but since you need a hood, fender, bumper, headlight, headlight support, maybe metal bumper(hopefully no frame damage) and all that painted, good chance of it being $1500 in repairs, and unless your car is immaculate usually and very very low miles, the Kbb is about $2400 for your car :(
but it's not the end of the world if it's totalled, they might give you $3k for another car and you could buy it back for like $500-700, then fix it and pocket any extra
