Pruis - Low Clearance.......ARGHHHHHH.

Honey do's, first. Then you can go out and play.

 

If it makes you feel better, I had the same thing happen years ago (not the Prius), but it was a fender from a trailer that was lying in the road. First I saw it was when the vehicle in front cleared it. So, I saw it but had no place to swerve. Put a nice dent in the oil pan with a faint drip. However, the car behind me barely stopped in time and tapped me in the rear. The guy behind him never touched his brakes. Double-rear end collision.

 

As the '16 Gen 4 models are lower, it could have been worse, eh?

 

Let us know what you decide and how you come to that decision... I frequently run into similar dilemmas.

As for complaining to AAA, I found their roadside service to be unacceptably slow (they took over an hour to arrive when I was trapped outside in temperatures well below zero), and their insurance to be unethical (they tried to climb into my backyard to see if I was hiding the insured item there... my neighbor had to threaten to call the cops on them after she caught them trying to scale her fence).

 

Who was the insurance company?
