I got rear-ended. - ZEFRANK.COM

priceyfatprude · 11-24-2003, 04:31 PM

I always thought it wouldn't be in a car, and it wouldn't be by a girl, but I was wrong. Ba dum bum!

It snowed here today so the roads were slippery in places & she just didn't leave enough room to stop. My car is fine, hers cracks in the fiberglass over the grill. I have a headache now.

So.

Tell me your car accident stories! I want to hear it all. Your fault, their fault, what happened, anyone hurt, etc.

Edited to say: hahahahahahahahaha

I tried to pull out in time but I just couldn't stop myself from rear-ending a woman. We were both fine afterwards.

I have yet to be in a car crash involving another car, though I had a close call once. However, I have damaged a fender trying to pull out of a gas pump, and ran my car into a ditch . . . twice.

The worst thing I've ever done to a car was this last Labor Day. It was raining, wet, and I was going around this sharp turn, not thinking very carefully about my driving. As I started into the turn I realized that I was going a little too fast, and I tried to brake slowly, but it was too much. The car slid, I over-corrected, and the whole thing flipped around, slid across the road, and the back passenger door slammed into a telephone pole. But I didn't hit anyone, despite sliding across the other lane. And the car still drives.

But it's getting cold now, and that door won't seal, so I really should get replaced. I'm scared, though. I bet it will be expensive, because I think the frame got messed up, too.

I feel really sorry for my little Blue Raspberry. (That's her name, poor little thing.)

It is nasty and icy here today too.

O.k. here is my list of car wrecks.

Fall of 1985: Deer jumped out of a cornfield and landed on the hood of my car.

Two months later: Deer ran in front of my car, I braked, and another deer ran into the side of my car .

1986: Left a party, was not driving, boyfriend was, and a person walking home from the party stumbled in front of the car. We hit him, he left a large dent on the hood of the car. He is alive and well, his leg was broken though. The police told my parent's insurance company it was not our fault, put my parents insurance company still had to pay for the medical bills.

1998: Now, I had a different car. Eagle Talon, going to the grocery store, took the left hand turn lane, thought no one was in it and got side swiped. The guy that hit me, wanted to just exchange insurance, but I insisted he stayed until the police got there. I got the ticket, fought it, documented it and lost. Should have just exchanged insurance and left? Don't know, but he was so eager to leave, I thought he must have been at fault. Still wonder about that one.

In Michigan, during deer hunting season, you have to be very, very careful.. The deer are all going nuts, it is mating season. In my family of 5 we have hit 13 deer. I have to travel a bit for Thanksgiving. Pray that I don't hit another deer. Thanks.

Don't hit Rudolf!!!!!!!

January 1, 1995 (this turned out to be a horrible year)

I was taking my little brother home, who was only 15 and had no driver's license, me and a girlfriend told him he could drive her car around if he would drop us off at a bar and pick us up later....he agreed.

A great time was had by all..It was about 10am New Years day, cruising down a two lane road in my Chevy Sprint (the roadberry), I was on the outside lane. I was about 100 feet before the light when it turned green. The car on the inside lane (Ford Taurus Hertz rental) relized that he was supposed to turn right at the light..pulls right in front of my in the middle of the intersection, and stops.

If no witnesses had stopped, it would have looked like I rear ended him, we pulled over and so did some lovely large ladies that saw the whole thing and pulled over too...they were yelling "we saw what you did!!!!" It was awsome. (except my car was totalled) There was a little of my paint on the tourists car (who by the way had an international license, were from Taiwan and didn't speak english.

Hertz was a bitch to deal with, I ended up having to sue them. I won.

Oh yeah, and that's when I was doing dinner theater and had no insurance...it took like a year to get the check....

#1. Whilst checking out a babe in a truck to the left of me...traffic came to an abrubt stop in front of me as I was enjoying scenery. I turned to find myself 3.5 feet from hitting a stopped SUV in my tiny honda civic...I actualy got my foot on the brake before rear ending the guy. He said his neck hurt a bit and could I please replace his scuffed rear bumper...I looked at the caved-in front end of my honda civic...looked back at him rubbng his neck and said..."sure". But I called my insurance like a dumb ass just in case. I only had liablity, all I could barely afford... I bought a bumper for "the guy" (pulled mine out with the help of a chain and a amicable telephone pole) and watched as my insurance skyrocketed without a claim being made by either of us.

#2. Early dewwy morning on my way to work in my '83 Honda CB1100F (motorcycle)...I followed a little ol lady up a very straight and deserted road at 15 miles under the speed limit with excellent visibility for about 2 miles before saying "fVch this" and passed her illegally (double yellow lines down the whole 3 mile road). Happilly making better time now I flashed acros the remaining mile of straight and entered the 'curvy" section of road that headed up a hill. I remembered that it was dewy and was only going "the speed limit" at that point...nevertheless I slid out on the second turn... As I was laying there taking stock and deciding if I wanted to try standing up, I saw the Lil ol lady smiling and waving as she slowly drove by without inquiring if I was ok...(biatch). The next car to drive by 3 minutes later stopped and "inquired". I had rolled and only suffered a nasty looking but not too serious road rash. The bike suffered minor scratches mainly, but the pavement rubbed through a low engine case cover on the left side which allowed oil to leak out even when upright...I figured the bike would sieze in two miles if I tried riding it, so I caught a ride with the good samaritan lady. I got to a phone and finally made it to work 2 hours late after getting a buddy with a truck to help me fetch my bike off the side of the road.

#3. Deer bolted across road in front of my '68 El Camino giving me no time to slow down...I was only going the speed limit of 35 mph but still he clipped the left front corner of car and mangled 2 of his poor legs. I turned back to see if I could wonk him on the noggin with a big stick or something to put him out of his pain but some young man who had narrowly missed the deer going the other way came back and was horrified that I would bonk Bambi on the head...I had to leave him there to flag down a deer ambulance if one should come by, and let him "feel bad for the deer" for a while...poor deer.

Thas it so far...Accidents suck...I plan to not have anymore...Hopefully the deer & dumbasses (like I sometimes was while learning to drive) will cooperate.

Everybody on my street gets rear ended turning into their driveways, eventually. It hasn't been my turn yet, but I've pulled ahead violently when I hear those screaming wheels behind me a few times....

The corker was last year, I'm drivin my sis's 80 something cutlass convertible, and I don't want it hurt. I have my turn signal on, am going to turn left into my driveway, there's a line of cars coming, and I could have pulled out fast and given someone a heart attack, but I wait because the car has a goofy carburator, and sometimes it lags when you push the gas.

The girl behind me stops, and then I hear the squeal, which means that the person behind her isn't going to make it. I pull forward real fast, avoiding the inevitable rear ender when her car gets shoved into the antique. I pulled off to the right and was going back to talk to the girl behind me and see if she was alright, and she starts screaming at me because I didn't turn fast enough. She tells the police that I was at fault because I took to long to turn. She called me the C word!!!

I went blind with rage. (happens like once every 5 yrs, luckily not much)
I just remember yelling something to her about "You can just forget about me being a witness for your whiplash case, I didn't see anything" or something to that effect, and then my family, who had heard the screeching, came across the street and carted me off back home. OOOH adrenalin is cool!

See, I think this might be part of it. I think she thought we'd get the turn arrow, but we didn't, hence her smacking me in the ass.

are you having flashbacks today, pfp??

Frieda · 11-25-2003, 04:24 PM

sheesh you people!

fortunately i've never been in an accident.. just with my bicycle.. 28 times to be precise. all cars going in reverse.. i wonder if people ever use their mirrors or look backwards.

I would quit riding my bike. You are pushing your luck.

My roommate in college has been hit 7 times by cars. Four times on foot, three times by bike. After her last car bike incident, she put her bike in the basement and refused to ride it anymore. I pointed out that she was hit by cars more times when she had been walking. She said it hurt more landing on the pavement when she was hit on her bike. Longer distance to fall maybe?

RuneT · 11-26-2003, 08:41 AM

I stay on the road but my friends have attempted to kill me on several occasions.

Last time I was thrown out the back window of the car where as the car did a summersault over me and landed 5 feet from me. I guess seat belts are useful in situations like that.

Audreyvgs · 11-26-2003, 10:08 AM

My sis was riding her ancient horse, who tripped over a root, and he went arsehole over appetite and she went flyin and landed under Fugly the pickup truck, and the horses' butt came down right next to her head. It was a wonder to watch. Nobody got hurt but nobody here's ever ridden again, kinda like...do you have the time it will take to heal a broken leg?

The other goofy horse flipped once as well, we put up a new fence, I even stuck palm fronds in it to mark it so they wouldnt run into it, sure enough, one of em comes barrelin thru, hits the fence, flips over it and lands 4 feet curled up under him on his stomach. He gets up, looks around to make sure nobody saw, and then kept goin. I gave it a 10.
