Angry screeeeech Thump crunch

....and the back of my car looks unhappy.

I was sitting stopped at a red light (as you do) with a line of stationary traffic ahead of me. I heard a screech of locked-up brakes behind me, which worried me. I looked in the rear-view mirror, but the car behind me wasn't moving, but I was still worried. Then I heard a thump behind me - which really bothered me - and then felt the crunch as the guy behind me hit me. Thankfully I have nice brakes, and the person in front had begun to move away, so I didn't hit them.

What had happened was that some woman (in a p.o.s. old cruddy normal car) had barrelled into the back of a Silvia sitting behind me, and pushed him into me. The really worrying part is that she didn't know what actually happened!!!! The Silvia was a mess - the bonnet was bent up and couldn't open, the guards were fucked, the bumper was rooted, and he was worried about the engine, cos he said it made a funny noise when he started it up afterward. Guess I'm lucky, but I'm still damn annoyed.

So of course we exchanged all the details, and I've rung my insurance co. and will go to see the panelbeater this afternoon. Helpfully, she admitted all responsibility for it at the time.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well doesn't that F*#k you right off!!!


She has no idea what happened???
I can guess. Car in gear, brain firmly in "Neutral".

The best way to judge how a person drives is to watch how they push a shopping cart.

The Panda feels your frustration!!!

Poor Whale!

and mine's behaving like a slug again. Seems like the pod is sick. When one goes down the other goes out in sympathy!

It should do, but if not, we’re covered so it should be fine.

That just sucks the big one. People that oblivious should not only have their license revoked, but be forced to carry a sign that says "Moron approaching"

hey kat: At that point, can't you just sue her for damages from her own income if she doesn't have insurance to cover it?

I know the feeling, that same thing has happened to me. Glad you weren't hurt (though you should get the neck checked anyhow - it may start acting up later) and hopefully insurance does right by you. It's sad how a few idiot drivers can make things so inconvenient for the rest of us.

But it's my whale!!!!

(just joking. We share in our house, we're good like that. )


and it has been reported to the police but I don't think she will be charged with anything. Wish people could be charged for stupidity though.

Call them 'punitive damamges.' Those always win.
