My First Car Accident

edited March 2007 in Social Entropy++
wtf i was turning into the side street of a t junction from the far side of the street where i had a green light and everything

and traffic coming from the other direction can turn into the side street anytime as long as they look out for other cars turning in (such as me)

and some idiot lady in a mercedes is all 'nah im just gonna keep driving into you cos i got a green light even though it only applies to people going straight and has no effect on the turn'

thanks dumb lady
for denting my car
i hope your insurance goes way up

    Take joy in knowing it will probably cost her twenty times more to fix the damages to her car than the damage to your Echo.

    Hell, he could probably replace the echo for the cost of the repairs to her car.

    That'll teach you to turn...from the far lane...at a T junction...and her...to...not do...whatever it is she did...that was wrong.

    Man, can you make a chart or something? I have no idea what happened.

    I think that's what happened.

    Even if it is wrong, it was a woman in a Mercedes.

    They are always, always in the wrong.

    People who turn into the wrong lane piss me right off. If you are in the far-right lane before the turn, you turn into the far right lane. You do not just arbitrarily select a lane and go for it regardless of what people around you are doing.

    I have only been in one real accident, and it was so my fault. I looked to the left for a second because I saw something flash and I was like, "Hey, what the heck was that," and then I looked back forward and the car in front of me had slammed his brakes but I didn't see at first because I had turned and also because we were going over a hill, and I slammed my brakes but I just barely nudged him. Amazingly his Ford Focus didn't have a mark on it, but my Blazer's bumper was dented. He checked his car out and was like, "Well, there's nothing wrong, I guess we can go on our way," and that is probably the most relieved I've ever been.

    And then I got my new Camry and someone backed into it in the parking lot while I was at work and so I don't know who fucking did it and goddamn it still annoys me.

    The worst are mothers with Range Rovers, X5s, Cayennes, M-Class', Land Cruisers and so on who all quadruple park in two way streets while waiting to pick up their stupid kids from school.

    PS school zones are retarded and I shouldn't be forced to drive 40 during peak hour traffic on a six lane highway for less than 100 meters
    especially when the school is a highschool
    why do school zones even exist for highschools

    well okay oden basically got it i think
    this basically just adds the traffic island which she was supposed to wait at behind the dotted line, but she kept going and hit me about where the word 'traffic' is

    the other thing is that the main road is 6 lanes wide, so i can only go with a green turn signal which i had

    If you own a Mercedes that means you can do what you want on the road, it is in the T&C of the contract.

    Some asshole did that to me this morning. Apparently I was just supposed to know he wanted the right hand lane even though he was in the left lane and I should not have been in his way. He is a very busy man.


    Edit:

    So I'm guessing Air had a green arrow for a right turn and this lady made a left turn any time with a yield into the same physical space. Bitch needs to learn what fucking yield means.

    I like when people are all "wooo!" and indicate for 0.5seconds midway through the turn and act like those are the magic words for me to move over
    remember
    this is mid turn
    dont worry about that median strip, oncoming traffic and wide variety of steel poles

    If your traffic signs are anything like in the states, there was a yield/caution sign for her turn. She needs to stop if there is traffic coming through, not just go willy nilly into the street using her Force powers to prevent collisions between solid objects.

    That woman was so wrong and she could have really truly killed herself

    in that situation the only traffic that is moving are all the cars turning right

    We have an intersection where there are three one way streets and one two-way street with funny angles. You can make a right turn from the one way to the other one way at any time (from any lane) as long as it's clear. I have seen two people, total, turn into the correct lane while making this right turn. I drive through this intersection almost every day.

    The best are the people who feel like making a right turn from the far left lane of a 3 lane road. I've seen a woman go perpendicular to traffic to get from the left and go into a Dunkin Donuts. She was quite lucky I did not have a hunting rifle in the Jeep that day.

    I am a tremendous driver and it makes me sad that my car is a giant heap of shit.
    But it is not like I've been driving it a lot lately.

    This is not entirely because the brake rotors and rear bushings need to be replaced.
    Apparently "stopping" is an important of the automotive process.

    well it is very clear cut
    should be fun if she still tries to claim it was my fault somehow


    oden dont drive a crap car
    buy one with brakes
    then when you are bored you can stop short on busy roads and kill an hour or so arguing with the guy who crashed into you from behind about sudden braking vs leaving distance between the car in front
    and then they will have to pay because they should have left a gap

    tip: do this when there is an expensive car like a porsche or a ferrari behind you
    they have good brakes so there is a chance they may stop in time, but if they dont the payoff would be hilarious
