Was "involved" in a couple of accidents today!!
 

Are people really that stupid when driving??? Guess so!!!

Took the Tempest to the credit union this morning. Was sitting in the left left turn lane waiting to get on I-10 here in Phx. Brand new Yellow Camaro pulls up in the right left turn lane. Guns the gas a couple of times while looking over at me. Light turns green, I whip my quick left turn down the freeway on ramp. Totally treed him!!! He tromps on it, blows off the tires & does a 180 degree spin over into my lane behind me,,,, goes up over the curb,,, slides down the embankment & into a chain link fence!!! I was allready half way down the ramp so I kept going to the next exit & came back to the scene. Cops showd up & I gave my account. Driver of Camaro got a citation for reckless driving. Me, nothing but a loss of an hour.

This evening I was sitting in a exit from a grocery store (driving the wifes car). Traffic was a mess. A lady came from my right & stops in the left turn lane to turn into the store that I was leaving. Something told me to MOVE!!! I backed up just as the lady turnd ieft into the parking lot. She got T boned in the right side by 2 cars & ended up right where I WAS sitting. She left in a ambulance!!! Not critical but pretty banged up. Lost another hour!!!

What a crazy day!!!!!

First accident ....your fault ....you and your fancy, fast looking car. You should be ashamed :)

I can picture the guy driving the new Camaro. What an idiot. :D

LOL!

Keith - glad your involvement wasn't more...."physical" in nature.

Hey - a "win" is a "win", right? Even if it's ugly.

:D

Maybe he was blinded by the shiny paint job you got and lost control. Win is a win and an idiot is an idiot which he probably was!

Just cause you have a fast car doesnt mean you know how to drive it.

Just returned from AZ Monday from visiting my mother in Prescott and can vouch for the high percentage of bad drivers in AZ, parking lots were the worst places during my 2 weeks driving AZ.

Keith, they were both proof You Can't Cix Stupid. You were the only smart one in both situations.

Brad, you don't want to come to Philly or Delaware. ;)

I had a close one this morning on my way to get coffee. I'm in the center of 3 lanes. A foreign national is in a little foreign car in the left lane. She's next to me and decides she want my spot so she pulls it over... no signal lights. I hit the brakes and she just missed the front of the Jeep. Then I see her hand come up with that single digit of love directed for me. I was really impressed. :rolleyes:

Been to Philly, never been to Delaware, your right common sense and common courtesy is almost non existent on the roads and in life today. Pretty soon it will be called uncommon sense as rare as it seems to be.

Hey, stupid drivers are NOT just in AZ. There are quite a few of them here in CT!! Nearly got side swiped by an IDIOT that was trying to beat the traffic around a stopped police car. You could see the police car for three blocks, but the IDIOT stayed in that lane until the last second. He came a hair's breath from plowing into me. From the look on his face, he had NO idea I was even there!! Question: how do you miss a bright red,
FULL SIZE Chevy truck????

Had a letter in the mail when I got home last night. Was from the lawyer of the camaro's owner. Said I was the cause of his accident & I was going to have to pay to fix his car!!! What a joke!!! Going to tell him to go pound sand!!!

Most people are too stupid to operate a motor vehicle. Period.

I narrowly avoided 3, count em, 3 accidents last night on my way home from work, all of them due to sheer stupidity, inattentiveness or negligence, or a combination thereof.

Un friggin believable.

This is the funniest thing i've read in a long time.But Keith,i think you're full of crap.Just how did you "drive back to the scene" if you were on the flooring of your car trying to breath?

I'm not convinced.

Spend a few hours on the roads of FL and you will be longing to go back to AZ!

I drove a Canada Dry route from St Pete to Tarpon Springs/Holiday.

Not sure when you did that, but I've been living in FL for nearly 25 years, and it has gotten exponentially worse in the last 2 years than it ever was before. I'm not sure if it's the cell phone/texting thing, or people are just getting dumber, but I've never had as many close calls as I've had in the last year or 2. FWIW, I drive Naples to Orlando and back every 3-4 days.

It's "Snowbird season".
