so on two seperate incidents today in the trail blazer almost turned into big accidents. First time i had went out and was back on way home getting towards the twistys when a honda comes out in my lane doing 70-75 and cant keep control almost hits me head on, stupid *****.. So later i head back out and a Sonic just opened up so i figured id see how it was(havent been to one since i was little and lived in kentucky). To get into the Sonic you have to turn down a side street sonic sits on the corner of this street and the highway. On other corner there is a gas station. So i go to turn in i got a semi on my *** and theres an old guy in his crown vic angled out into the road stopped in my lane so as i stop to not hit him the semi almost plows into my ***... I dont get it around here, there was only 2 lanes of traffic they widened it to 4 now and ever since theres 2x the people and everyone drives more retarded. On the part thats still 2 lanes everyones driving 70. Normaly i wouldnt complain about speeding but theyre all retarded ******* morons that arent fit to drive an electric scooter.

i agree with you man. theres a lot of stupid people out there. on my street, theres some kid who keeps backing out of his driveway every time i pass by and i swear if i wasnt paying attention, we would be fucked. and around town, people dont seem to pay attention to the lights. i stop at a red light and i look to my right and some guy just blows through the intersection like it was green. i see this everyday, and it pisses me off. i t-boned some guy a couple years ago because he pulled out infront of me as im driving by, and he didnt even think to look. it makes me wonder how the hell these people got their drivers licenses.

same thing happened to me, totalled my first car cause some asshat pulled out thru a lane of stopped traffic into the moving fast-lane, right in front of me without looking. he then proceded to try to blame it on me, but the cops decided otherwise (thankfully)

Just the other day I was driving through a school zone, kind of the tail end of it, but still school zone signs, etc. This guy in one of those 4 door mini Nissan trucks. you know the ones with the HUGE ugly fender flares, pulls right out in front of me. I mean if you're going 20mph and have to slam the brakes to keep from hitting someone, they're definitely in the wrong. I got stopped in time, and he continues pulling out and turning right. I mutter ******* under my breath and shake my head. What he does next is unbelieveable!! He gets to the end of the school zone, FLOORS it, and proceeds to hit the curb grinding his sidewalls off for about 50-75 feet. At the next parking lot he pulls off the road, either to check for damage, or sober up. Broad daylight, good thing no kids were crossing at the time.,,,,BB

before i moved to nashville to go to school, people in the busy part of my town, like all of the sudden one day, just PHHTT, forgot how to drive. i have been cut off many times, people change lanes from a stop to moving suddenly without a signal, changes lanes without signalling, run red lights, turn ACROSS turn lanes without notice, and throw themselves into traffic.



and one time, i was turning off of a busy road from the TURN LANE, and a big *** dodge with a 5th wheel behind it was sitting to my left (on the road i was turning onto) decides its his turn to go, even though he is sitting at a stop sign. so just as i start to turn he starts darting (as much as you could with a 5th wheel behind you) out into the street. i had to clutch kick my Rx7 and take the back end through a pothole and complete my turn sideways as **** to keep him from hitting my side of the car. he barely misses me. he was coming off a small hill and would have pushed me back into the right lane into traffic. so, if you are pulling a 5th wheel, that means you have the right of way, to hell with road signs and traffic laws.



i think ill follow this thread, its kind of interesting

my sister has been in 5 accidents since she got her license last october. in fact, the fifth one was today. she really sucks at driving. i almost got killed when i had to get a ride from her. i dont get it, she went to driving school and had her learners for 9 months, then as soon as she can drive on her own...crash (x5)

i had 1 accident right after i got my license, no points/tickets, but it WAS my fault (parole violator, stolen car, no insurance, hit and run, etc,etc).

i dunno why she hasnt yet. but the worst one when she totaled her old car (her fault) the cop had sympathy for her and said the accident was enough punishment. and yet she blows a stop sign and t-bones a mini van. i heard she didnt see the stop sign. BUULLLSHIT i went to that same intersection and you have to be on your cell phone and looking the other way to not see that. one thing i do know is her insurance is through the roof.
