August 23, 200421 yr So I'm making a left into my neighborhood. I wait 5 minutes to turn until I see a pickup truck with its left turner on, and it starts to slow down. I make the turn and the pickup truck speeds on, and slams the right side of my car. The entire left back window shattered and the door is dented about a foot. Meanwhile, my car is completly totaled. The driver of the truck was friendly though and admitted he wasn't paying attention, but I was the one stuck with the citation. The moral of the story is to never turn left.

August 23, 200421 yr Glad you are alright I hate when cars do that though in all seriousness. Can never tell if they are actually turning or not, and if they are then someone behind you honks because they are so damn impatient

I guess he realized he was at the wrong turn, but didn't see a car going in front of him.

August 23, 200421 yr Author you should of told the cop to goto hell. 523640[/snapback] If you're turning into oncomming lanes of traffic where no traffic signal is present and get whacked, it is ALWAYS your fault. Basically, you can't trust anyone on the road. Turn signals mean nothing. They're all trying to kill you. Sometimes the only safe way to approach this situation is motor on and find an intersection with a traffic signal where you can make a U-turn. 523708[/snapback] This guy slowed down with a signal on to make the turn, then he sped up after I began to turn, and he was not paying any attention. :censored
August 24, 200421 yr they rule...when you live i tell the faithful about my car accident and they are amazed I am agnostic. but hey, at the time i was convinced god saved me.
August 24, 200421 yr Author NEVER TRUST ANYONE ON THE HIGHWAY. After this fiasco, I've learned that everyone on the road is a homocidal maniac. :o
August 24, 200421 yr i'm not saying its your fault or anything, but 99% of the time the 16-year-old kid who has had his license for less than 2 months is to blame. i'm glad you're alright, though.
