This happened in 04 but we just got an all-in-one printer and thought I'd try out the scanner. Here's what happened when a 70 yr. old man ran a red light. He told the cops he saw the red light but didn't know what he was thinking People like that should not have a license to drive!!!! I'm just lucky all I got was a cut on the forehead and a sore ankle from where the foot well caved in from impact. The really ironic thing is the windshield was less than a week old. I just had it replaced from a rock crack, and i think 4 days later the car gets totalled
Well at least you weren't hurt. I had an 89 year old lady drive right into the side of one of the buses here. She said she didn't see it. AND she said she was trying to get to the road on the other side of the bus. But there was no road there. I don't know if she was have a flashback or what.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP
Old people suck man. I almost got totalled yesterday by an old lady in a mercury who pulled out of a parking lot right in front of me. Then after seeing she almost caused an accident she tries to flee the scene and get lost in traffic but I caught her and rode her ass for about 2 miles until she decides to flick the the hazards, pull the car over and get out the cell phone I guess to tell someone she was being chased by a mad man
I would've pulled over with her and explained that she's an idiot! I would've been on my phone with the police and telling them that she was driving extremely erradically.

I was going to but I was already late to pick up my gf and besides the way she was gripping that steering wheel and checkin her mirror every 5 seconds with that look on her face was satisfaction enough for me. I usually dont get road rage because Im pretty much use to the thousands of people who dont deserve licenses but that was too close and I almost wrecked to avoid her. Ed I think its a new windshield curse because I too just had my windshield replaced but glad to hear to you wasnt hurt too bad. That wreck looks pretty brutal
I felt kinda lame posting this right above darktengu's post about the wreck he was called to because mine was nothing compaired to that, but this was the first accident I was ever in. I didn't ever see the van comming. Just POW!! My first reaction was to try to get out cuz I saw the van that hit me leaking fluid everywhere and for some reason I was imagining me leaking gas. but he his me right where the door hinges are so not only wouldn't the door open, but the inside handle was sticking out straight towards me!
After the inital shock wore off I got super pissed and was smacking the steering wheel and throwing every cuss I could think of. That car was from Indiana so had ZERO rust and was in perfect shape. Damn it was a great first car. Liked it so much I bought one just like it to replace it but this has been in Milwaukee it's whole life and the first two owners (I'm the 3rd!!!) didn't take good care of it so theres little spots of underbody rust. Oh well, I learned to ALWAYS LOOK LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS. You all should do the same.
I witnessed one memorable accident in my construction zone one night. A drunk driver ran into the rear end of one of our flashing arrow boards and destroyed it. Since we always employ a police officer for night work, the officer went to check on the man after calling for an ambulance. When he got to the car, he asked the guy if he was ok. The man got out of the car, dropped his open beer, and proceeded to piss on the cops shoes!
i was recently in an accident, i was stoped at red light in a 2004 neon, the guy behind me in a chevy truck doing 80mph slamed into me. needless to say the car was totaled.. the damages came to 28,000.00$ and some change. i didn't even get whiplash, nor did my girlfriend. the dude's engine flew though his firewall and wound up on his shitty bench seat.
the back window didn't even crack, but my dice bag was in the drunk, and was crushed... 40 bucks in dnd dice down the drain, i even had my collectors vampire the masqurade dice in there.. thank the gods for gap insurance. sad thing was, it was a christmas eve.. but then i got my avenger a week later.
. sad thing was, it was a christmas eve.. but then i got my avenger a week later.
So a blessing in disguise. lol And I'm supprised no one ripped on those ugly rims I had The last owner had em' on when I bought it. I was saving up to replace them, so now I've got a nice set.
