Yesterday I watched a woman drive into a pedestrian area (which is ok on its own) and park the car maybe 5 meters behind a light pole. She got out, took something from the trunk and returned s few minutes later. To leave, she started reversing way too fast and I immediately could tell she didn't see the pole and was going to hit it. I even picked up the phone but couldn't start recording until after she hit it straight down the middle of the rear bumper hard enough to make it shake pretty violently. And then she just took off, I guess it's not like you can do anything at this point.

I work for an insurance company. When I was applying here 6 years ago I remember saying something like "Man this is a lot of people working here, do that many car accidents occur on a daily basis that require all these people?" The answer is Yes. Yes. Yes. People are so loving stupid behind the wheel. Rear ends, hitting parked cars, hitting stationary objects. It all boils down to inattentiveness. I can't tell you how many times people will say "Oh Sal he was parked in a no parking zone, I shouldn't be at fault!" Well yes you are at fault. Just because someone is parked illegally doesn't give you carte blanche to gently caress up their car. Also, if people make a gap for you to pull through on a busy street, if it's a 3 lane road, don't pull through unless you can visibly see that all 3 lanes are allowing you to pass, if you can't, don't pull through because I loving gauren goddam loving tee there is some idiot in the 3rd lane just bee boping down the road ready to gently caress you up. If you ever wonder why your loving insurance goes up every year even though you have been able to navigate the death trap roads that dot this country without an accident you can thank all the loving idiots who drive while staring at their phones or getting road head and get in accidents. EDIT: Craziest one I've ever had: Initial call "Hey we were driving down the street, we went through an intersection on a green light and were t-boned, my girlfriend got a huge scar on her face." So like on the surface nothing crazy here. However the crazy goes when we start getting reports from the hospital that the scar was actually a burn mark and likely not caused by the accident. We call them back to find out more info. Boyfriend says the he cauterized the wound on her face with a cigarette to stop the bleeding O_O But then we get reports of additional bruising on her face. It turns out that the driver and his passenger were in a loving fist fight with each other in the car while driving. They did get t-boned but almost all the injuries were caused by their loving fist fight in the car. The fact that they got t-boned was purely coincidental. They probably would've been in an accident regardless. SalTheBard fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Mar 2, 2019 |

I'm getting sick of being hit by unlicensed drivers with no ids, fake IDs, no insurance, and in one case a fake police badge which he flashed despite knowing maybe 25 words of English total. Driving in New York is hell

I live in a city with REALLY BAD drivers. Like really bad. I once went on vacation to FLORIDA and was amazed at how not bad the drivers were. Towards the end of the week some rear end in a top hat loving idiot cut me off hard. He had plates from my county. Literally a thousand miles away our bad drivers were out and about causing trouble. I can recall an instance a few years back where I got rear-ended at a light and then a week later some fuckface merged into me without looking. My wife and I went from 2 cars to zero in the span of a loving week. I was in the back of an Uber on wednesday night and got to see some loving reject rip his steering wheel to the right and dive from the passing lane, three lanes over and absolutely drill some innocent guy driving along minding his own business. I know people say <insert city here> has the worst drivers, but I'm convinced my city is the one.

I just sat there and made an impatient wave to try and indicate to her to keep going and she looked annoyed like I was the rear end in a top hat lol. Admittedly she was trying to be nice but instead of was just being an idiot.

Love it when I get in an accident that is 100% objectively not my fault and was legally judged to not be my fault and I didn't pay anything for the repairs and then my own insurance premiums go up and still haven't come back down after almost a decade

My grandma was once backing out of a parking spot at a grocery store and ran directly into the front bumper of a fellow old lady who had not seen her try to back out. Because they were both kind old bitties, they both immediately accepted equal fault for the accident and then both of them had to pay for repairs and both of their insurance payments skyrocketed instead of just one of them.

I wish people in general would just stop doing that. I get why people do it, but loving hell it's so dangerous because they don't think about anyone in the other lanes.

It's unfortunate because a seemingly unrelated event to you (Hailstorm in Texas) could impact your rates if the company you are insured through has to make up for the amount of hail damage they paid out. Also idiot drivers.

SciFiDownBeat posted:These yield signs sound pretty dangerous, someone ought to remove them A municipality back home had issues with people who had a yield sign, were not stopping when merging onto the main road and another vehicle was in their path. After a few near-collisions, (myself included) there were enough complaints for the municipality to finally do something about it. Instead of replacing it with a stop sign, as it should have been the whole time, they just added another yield sign to the main road.  Confused old people driving when they shouldn't is going to be a problem that's only going to get worse. My grandfather drove for at least 3 years longer than he should have, and it took him confusing the gas and brake (he actually slammed on the brake in the middle of the highway and ditched his truck when he was trying to pass a vehicle) before we managed to convince him that he was endangering other people. I know of ~10 old guys who are in their 80's who have been retired forever and the only thing they know how to do to occupy their time is to hop in their trucks and just waste gasoline for 8 hours a day.

Yeah in 2019 you should absolutely have a dashcam, and maybe even a rear-view-facing cam. They're easy to set up and the good ones clean themselves so you don't even have the annoyance of doing it yourself. It is the best way to protect yourself against particularly skilled liars (yes, it is a real threat).

My favorite one was when my boss and I were rear ended in the bank drive through in his van and the ball hitch in the back totally cratered the bumper of this old lady’s Taurus. Naturally my boss gets out and inspects the damage and yells at her for scratching his hitch and gets back in and goes on about his business like normal.

In college I was coming back from work pretty late in the evening. I’m behind this guy in a pickup truck going through campus. He pulls up to a stop sign, me right behind him, pauses for a few seconds puts it in reverse and backs right into me. Took out my left headlight. He gave me $500 for it but didn’t have an explanation for backing into me other than he didn’t see me there.

Three years in a row (early spring if it matters) my cars were totalled from being rear ended while sitting stopped at a red light. The first time it was one of those giant city recycling trucks and long story short I get terrible migraines now as well as regular headaches lasting several days. Current car was still hit at a red light within weeks of purchase but it was minor damage at least so I'm taking it as a win.
