Car collisions and why they are bullshit
Posts
Person is driving down an 8-lane highway at around 50mph, coming over a hump in the road, cop pulls out of the parking lot, no lights, no sirens and BAM HOLY SHIT I JUST WATCHED A COP DIE.
Cop gets out, covered in broken glass, checks on the driver of the other car, gets on the radio, then puts his head between his knees.
Incredibly late, but you're not a badass for fucking your shit up being stupid. More because you actually survived all that shit. Are you completely sure you're even mortal?
I've had three serious incidents, two of which were my fault.
The first was driving an old Mitsubishi ute home from work when I was 19. I went round a curve in the road too fast and the rear tyres lost grip. I over-corrected, span and hit the road shoulder, which flipped and rolled me into a large tree-stump. I got out of that with nothing more than a little bump on the back of my head, but the ute was destroyed.
The second was driving home along a different road when I was 21, I was about 5 minutes from home and dozed off. I woke up doing 110 km/h in a ditch along side the highway, at which point I rather stupidly yanked hard right on the wheel to get back on the road. I managed to save it, but there were some pretty scary-looking tyre marks over both sides of the highway by the end of it.
The third was in city traffic on the way to work in the morning, about two years ago. A young woman drove straight into the side of my car whilst I was driving past a line of cars waiting to turn right. I was only going 60, but the impact caused my car to slide sideways across the road, all the while I was trying frantically to avoid smashing into the line of cars, a lot of which had kids being taken to school in them.
The first thing that girl said to me was "Fuck it that's the second time I've done that this month."
This month?!?
Barely
Dude left a little dent in my car with his 1980 Mercedes or whatever
His car was smoking
I got his insurance
Took the money
Didn't fix the dent
More recently, I was driving home from work when a Nissan Murano pulls out of a parking lot into the side of my car. I had a dented fender, door, and a paint scrape going down the entirety of my passenger side. Another $3000 there.
And a week after he got it he got rear ended by a big ol' van van while about to make a left turn because the guy was spacing out
He didn't just get a dent
Nope
BOOM, entire rear part of the car crunched. Totaled.
And the car had a rear CD changer so I lost 6 CDs!
And since it was a lease and not a buy insurance was much more of a pain in the ass.
where you land on the LIFE squares and land big bucks via insurance. That is what I always imagined it as, my family of six getting rear-ended and getting $10,000 dollars.
After which I take one of the family members out of the car because I pretend they were put into a coma.

I imagine Stale being a pretty solid driving instructor, provided you're not learning in his car.
Oh, I'm sure he's capable of teaching me, but I wouldn't be the safest person on the road if I was petrified the whole time. I don't mind taking the train. Like I could afford a car to drive anyway.
Satans..... hints.....
Stale drives like 40 MPH in his parking garage. I think he would be the worst possible choice for teaching Sara to drive.

I was not wearing a seat belt and if I had, I would have been stuck in the seat which ended up about 5" wide. As it was, nobody was hurt and I got to sit on the center console of my car, which was totalled, with a truck headlight about 3 inches from my face.
Seatbelt conspiracy. They'll kill ya.
and something about it being a really weird drug experience, like it hit them especially hard and they were hallucinating or some shit
so they were in the country all fucked and next thing my cousin remembers is waking up behind the wheel driving on the highway halfway back to his house with one of the dudes opening a door to vomit out of the car
I haven't seen Jigrah post in this thread yet, so I'll do it on his behalf...
You and Munkus drive exactly the same
like old fucking women
and I never get over 30 in the garage. Perfectly in control. Fast does not always mean reckless.
same here, but boy do i regret it

what's the big deal, women
I love cars, don't get me wrong, but I just ain't got the urge to buy one.
I once got in an accident, but it was pretty tame by comparison to some of you folks' stories.

ARHGHUHG
so after exams i will do that
and then its a beer or two before i drive anywhere just because i can
seriously 0 alcohol limit is some bullshit
i even avoid mouthwash in the mornings because that little bit of alcohol in it could give some kind of reading if i were pulled over shortly after getting into the car
and since i am always late i dont need to be delaying myself anymore by explaining that to a cop
i think they even mention it somewhere on the website about the 0 bac limit
if mouthwash or anything with tiny alcohol levels gives a positive reading
take it up in court
much better
I find it hilarious that she grew up about fifteen minutes from me in super rich yuppie suburb land.
