Insurance companies often issue totalled or R  or salvage tittles to bikes or cars for minor incidents. They do it to avoid reparing an older vehicle, instead, paying off its owner and spending less money in repairing injured vehicles.

Once my classic Datsun got one of its doors dented by a lady backing her truck off a driveway as my car laid parked across the street.

Her insurance wanted to give me $1000 for the damages. BUT my tittle was to become a "salvage" tittle, indicating my car was part of a bad accident, got wrecked or deemed unsafe.

That tittle would render my car unsafe, destroying its value, and basically destroying its real value.

I argued against that, reaching the offices of the state commissioner. Ghe insurance was forced to back pedal, repairing my door, and paying for the repair plus a rental car, and no salvage tittles at all.
