To the guy who rear-ended meFollow

I was polite and civil after the accident, through the police report, as we left the scene, as I called the insurance company and then talked to the claims adjuster.

But, as I dwell on it, I kind of hate you. Next time it's raining out, maybe you should stay off the cell phone.

I'm fine. Sore, but okay. The car isn't quite so fine. The driver of the other car admitted fault to the officer. The insurance company said I was obviously not at fault and it wouldn't affect my rates. They expect that the whole thing shouldn't cost me anything beyond time and paperwork. All told, if you have to be in an accident, this was the way to do it.

But I didn't have to be in an accident. And that's why you're a dipsh[Aqua][/Aqua]it.

Im sorry to hear that Joph. How fast was he going?

Wait, so this thread isn't about **** rape? I'm disappointed.

I hate being reminded about how dangerous cars are and how little control you actually have when driving. I'm one of those people that are pressing the imaginary brakes when I ride with you. Or grabbing for the "Oh Sh*t Handle" every time you take a turn. If someone could invent a Teleporter similar to Star Trek I'd gladly pitch in a few bucks.

If it makes you feel better, it took one post longer for the obvious to turn up than I had predicted.

I was stopped waiting for an arrow to turn left. Next thing I know, the car was being hit. He was probably doing 15-20mph and was oblivious given that I didn't hear any brakes or a skid or whatnot -- he just drove right along into me.

I'm stiff and sore but I'm not looking for an excuse to limp into court with a neckbrace and crutches.

I got rear-ended on my last trip to Canadia. Just picked up a friend from his work place in Wuss-tah and was getting onto the Pike. There was a bit of traffic on the onramp that was backing it's way out onto the highway causing people to stop in the exit lane. As I came to a stop I heard a loud screech and shortly thereafter was struck by another car. The kids in his car seamed a little tossed about but not dead or bleeding or anything. Fuc[Coral][/Coral]king Mass'holes.

Sucks you got smacked Joph though you seem to be taking it rather well. I hope the internal bleeding stops in time for me to buy you a drink. =)

I think this calls for a few extra drinks tomorrow. Relieves the tension and all

NOTE TO KIDS READING THIS: This is why you NEVER ride in the trunk of a car!

Even if you're really drunk and it's hot and you and a fraternity really want to go swimming out at the lake but there isn't enough room for everyone and someone HAS to ride in the trunk in order to go. Well, if that happens, I guess you just don't get to go swimming. I'm sorry, there will be other times.

This is the exact reason that in motorcycle training they teach you to look behind you when you stop and to leave yourself an escape path. You'd be amazed how often this happens. When it happens to a bike, you either get the hell out of the way, then beat the sh[Aquamarine][/Aquamarine]it out of the moran's car, or you get flattened.

I knew someone would respond to that!

We used to stuff kids in the trunk all the time back in college to "smuggle" them off campus. That was fun. Especially if the drunk ***** forgot to let you out once you got off campus... and waited till they got to the party or wherever.

Not that I was on a bike but, yeah, I was lucky I was the first car in the lane. I got pushed a good couple feet forward from the hit and it would have almost definately been a 3-car accident otherwise.

Joph, if you don't want to dance at the club, you can just SAY so. You don't have to come up with some elaborate story!
