Archbaron Larry Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 So, on Valentine's Day, my friend and his older brother were on their way to school, and some b***h wasn't looking at the light and went through a red. She t-boned my friend's car on the passenger side, completely caving it in, totaling the car. Luckily, my friend escaped with only a few bruises and his brother was totally fine. When my friends and I heard about it, we were honestly freaking out quite a bit. :/ Discuss car wrecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarven King Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I almost got in one. I was driving down the main street of my local town. The lady beside me decided she wanted to be in MY lane and proceeded to change lanes suddenly with no warnings. I swerved to the left (luckily, no oncoming traffic) and she went back into her line. She then yelled at me (or it looked like yelling) and flipped me off. .-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 So have I. Was going to make a right turn because the intersection light was already yellow and except for 1 car that couldn't make it there were no other cars instead the driver decided to floor it (and still didn't hit make it before the light hit red) and almost rammed into me (which was only prevented because I swerved at the last second) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarven King Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 That's why I make people behind me mad. I don't take right turns on red unless NOBODY is around (aside from people behind me). Especially in busy areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's quite the difference when I moved to California from Arizona. In Arizona, the people are WAY too unwilling to back down or let you get in their lanes. You literally have to be on the verge of ramming into them before they yield (and even then a lot of them won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 My mum had a crash with an ambulance, she suffered whiplash and the ambulance drive admitted fault 80-20. We still had to drive around in the Skoda until we brought our current car, it was awkward and mum is still a little nervous about going down the side road where it happened even now.

CrystalCyae Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm rather glad I live it in a slightly safer area. Here, people will let you cross the road before they floor it and speed away down the highway. However, my sister did nearly run over some guy because he decided "Hell with that L plater, I wanna ride my scooter to the other side of the road" so we braked like really hard and that little guy is just staring at us then continues on his way. Y u parents no teach kids to look before they cross? Another time, my father and I were driving to a nearby KFC to pick up my sister, who works there. And I'm just staring out the window and then I say "Papa, there's headlisght coming towards us" So we swerve to the side like nothing else and this guy just drives along. It should be noted that, on that road in particular, there is a divider between the two lines of traffic. Each side has 3 lanes. Like WTF Im glad I spotted that ass.

Cin Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 We had a fatal accident outside my now old school, they had to put traffic lights up, but people still run reds and people still cross on green. Going to end up with a car accident at the top of my road one day because parents from the school use it to park their cars and they will NOT let people down the lane who want to come in...takes us ages if we're unluckily enough to want to come home near the end of school.

Fusion X. Denver Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I had a tiny fender bender one time, but of course I freaked out. There was a scratch already there, but I ended up having to pay for it because I was way too apologetic and freaked out to notice her taking advantage of me. However, turns out she was the mother of a kid who went to my mom's school and she found out the lady got a divorce sometime later. Karma, b*tch. During my days with a permit, I almost killed myself and my dad a few times (or at least the car) v.v -My dad took me test-driving out on the roads before I even had lessons (smart). I turned left at a 4-way intersection without using my blinker, and then took a left turn into the lot without a turn signal and almost had the car behind ram into us. -I nearly rammed the back of a car on the highway -Same trip, I felt nervous coming out of the acceleration lane, I was looking for an opening [i]while still driving[/i] and the car went over the curb and headed straight for a pole before I got us back on the road -On a narrow road, I winged my dad's right mirror on a parked car -After a long track meet, my dad had me drive the two of us and my sister (first time driving with her). The whole time she was b*tching and moaning about dad not letting her go to our school's men pageant that night (ugh) and it's already tricky enough making a left turn out of my school. I just went for it right as a car headed toward us. Luckily the car braked and I got back on the road, but then I had to repair my broken confidence as my dad and sister b*tched at me and each other the rest of the ride. Thank god I have experience now >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Uncle was T-Boned. Car flipped over, broke my cousin's arm. Guy I knew was hit head on, right side of the car collapsed, metal bar missed his head by an inch. Mother was rear-ended by a Semi... yeah that was the worst one. Sent her car flying across the intersection, essentially ripped the back off. She still has head trauma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my high school days one of my neighbors had a dad who was too lazy to take his kid out for lessons despite the fact he only had a drivers permit and not a license at that time I don't know of the accidents he got into, but he had so many close shaves he lost count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Driving down the right lane of a freeway. Before I get any further, please note that there WAS NO SHOULDER. Just lanes. So apparently somebody got a flat and in fear of wrecking their rims stopped on the right lane at the apex of a hill. I came up and didn't realize they were there and not moving until about 5 seconds before collision. In my panic and realization, I both turned sharp left and hit the breaks. Needless to say I skidded, did a counterclockwise 180 degree turn and smacked my 2 right wheels against the curb. Both skewed off and f*cked up and I had to drive off the freeway with a massively f*cked up alignment. The cop didn't write me up since it was technically the idiocy of a person stopping their card in the MIDDLE OF A F*CKING FREEWAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
