Boo Hoo...Accident
#17
man, i know that feeling. it doesnt matter whether you're at fault or now...accidents in general are bad to experience. my first two cars were total losses from accidents, and im trying to be as careful as possible, but you never know what kinda person is behind the wheel texting/talking on their cell, driving drunk, or just plain driving horribly. better days to come!

mmm there was a hit n run at my old high school today. some guy in a white escalade hit 1 car, totalled another, and the totalled one hit another (all parked). the guy ran off but some ppl saw him stop a block away to check his car and they took down his plates and called the popo.
good thing u chased him, hit n run ppl are no good

Similar thing happened to me here in Miami, had my brand new Lex for 1 week and the dumbass landscaping truck in front of me at the light let his truck roll back and hit my front bumper, he ges out barely speaking English saying he's sorry since I drive an expensive car that I can afford to fix it. I almost got out and beat his *** but he had his young son with him and let it go.

I stopped to get gas the other day, followed a clueless looking lady in a giant SUV. She stopped half way to the far pump leaving no room for me (I hate that). Then I thought she saw me because she moved up a bit. So I moved into place and was just about to turn the car off when out of nowhere she goes into reverse and starts coming right at me... I hoooonked and she slammed the brakes. I got out of the car, looked at her, and she refused to even acknowledge that she did anything at all.
GAWD, why don't people look before they press the gas pedal. If it was a Toyota she was driving and she hit me I'm sure she'd be blaming the car...

A cab driver ran over a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, in the hospital parking lot! Broke his legs. Cab driver was on the phone...

The problem with drunk driving laws is the 0.08 threshold. I think the limit should be 0.01. Then you can have zero drinks if you are driving instead of 1 or 2.
The whole notion that people can have one or two before driving makes no sense since most experts will tell you that alcohol diminished your ability to tell whether you are drunk or not.
Personally I practice this approach. If I am driving to dinner, I will drink no alcohol even if my wife wants me to have even one glass. That's the way it should be.
Also handset usage while driving should be punished as a DUI. These days you can get bluetooth systems aftermarket for cheap so there's no excuse.
