Nearly had my first car accident today

More Than Mortal · August 25, 2014, 07:22:06 AM

So my mom takes me driving round these side-/country-roads and it's going pretty swell. We come up to this nasty turning and at the same time a car comes down smack bang in the middle of the road.

So I fucking slam my breaks and there's just a few inches between us.

>nearly slide into back of mom's boyfriend's car
Now I can handle my old boat like I'm running a circuit, but at first that shit was sketchy.

I've also had to cross lanes to dodge a few idiot cagers who tried to pull out in front of my motorcycle. It seems like it's always a soccer mom in her oversized SUV too...

I text and drive all the time but still have yet to get in an accident. I like to think I've become very skilled at it.

Worst drivers, hands down, are Berliners.

Even worse than the Poles or the Londoners.

cars are gay

:l People like to do hit and runs on my car when it's parked and I'm off doing whatever. My front is caved in and the hood it popped because of retards backing into it and then driving off so they wont have to pay for it. I've got an estimate for $4800 and I'm not even sure if insurance will cover any of it due to the fact I have no real proof that this happened to me. Basically I can't afford to fix a car I didn't even damage.

As the only person in PA that can drive, I can confirm this. Florida drivers are worse though.

That's fucked up.

What if you got into a "crash"? Know what I mean? Wouldn't that have the insurance cover it?

Insurance fraud is no bueno dude. I could get into serious trouble with the law for that.

It's also a lot harder to even attempt than people seem to think.

Some gay black dude and his boyfriend slammed on breaks in front of me once because they were too chickenshit to merge onto a busy interstate and the lane ended. I ran right into the back of them as I turned to check if I was okay to merge and couldn't slow down in time when I noticed they were stopping.

And thus was born the joke about me rear-ending two gay black dudes.

Nice save. I've been in one and almost had one today. Lol I was literally thinking about how funny it would be if I hit someone when as I was checking both was while pulling out if a parking lot; I almost hit someone. I casually rolled to a stop 2cm from his car door. He was shitting brix and the shit brix started to overflow out of the car till it washed me away. It was worse than a landslide in the Philippines.

Worst crash I had was when I was just starting rally, I was on a R2 bend, and my navigator had fucked up with her notes and told me that in 100m I had an easy L1, when in all reality, the turn ahead of me was a god damn L4, my car went clean off the course, almost rolled, and grinded to a halt onto a freaking iced over pond, the car sunk, and I almost drowned thanks to the "safety" X style belt. the Integra was too fucked up from water damage and the crash to even bother repairing with the $ that I had at the time.
