Dude. Bummer. No snowplows out here in California but I have been clipped by a street sweeper while in a work truck.

GF: this Mercedes 2000 convertible says it does 270, but it only goes 240.
BF: nodding (I mean napping) in the backseat

Car flips upside down on way to get more beer. Cop comes.

Me: it's a good thing we threw out the empties.

Dude...that sucks.....have some bailey's and stay home!

I've been in a few myself, but the funniest (actually the only one that involved any humour at all) was when I was turning right on a green light in a major snow storm and my tires locked, causing me to slide directly into the door of the mini-van parked waiting to go through the red. I was only going about 5 kms/hour, but as soon as I started to turn, I no longer had any control. Both myself and the guy in the mini-van kinda threw our hands up in the air, looking at each other, just waiting for it to happen. We both knew it was coming, had enough time to share a moment and then, I hit him. After the fact, we both got out of the cars, laughed at how similar it felt to bumper cars and got down to business (exchanging info and stuff). Turned out the guy owned a body shop and fixed it all himself and didn't bill me a penny. All around best case scenario as far as accidents go.

Drive safe everyone...

i walked away uninjured and got a check from geico in six days.....the other 6 cars that were behind me (including the kid that started it) weren't so lucky....:)

Always a good idea to have a camera in your vehicle. Many people after the fact make up shit that never came anywhere close to what really happened.

Always take those pictures cause a woman sued me lying about an accident we had but pictures I took at the scene saved me.

She sued me a year and half later, she had up to 3 years to file that suit. Can you believe that shit!

I got rear ended in my brand new (under 3,000k) black, fully loaded 6 cylinder GTI. Some guy in an animal control truck totally creamed me...he didn't even touch the brakes. I was completely stopped and waiting to turn before he was coming to a stop at a stop sign about 200 feet away. He kept on coming , and rammed me into incoming traffic just as I was starting to turn slamming me into a minivan head on. It was like real life a pinball game, only much louder.

It totally destroyed my car, and the insurance company wrote it off.

The guy must have blacked out, or is perhaps one of the stupidest most inept individuals imaginable. I told the guy to stay minimum 50 feet away from me, or something bad was going to happen to him....I had to tell him this a few times. I was totaly in shock and pretty angry about it. hehe

no pics...but in the meantime

i got hit head on going 40mph by a lady that couldnt see past a gigantic Durango. she smashed head on into me and i never had a chance to hit the brakes. i bounced my car off of hers and into a telephone pole. it sucked big time, but it was completely her fault. my car had $9500 worth of damage to it and i got to take a nice ride in an ambulance.

My daughter and I were in a collision just over ten years ago. I don't remember any of it! Apparently we were stopped two cars behind a schoolbus that had it's lights flashing because it was dropping off children and the guy behind us (traveling 60mph) fell asleep at the wheel. He hit us, we hit the car in front of us and knocked them out of the way, and we ended up wedged underneath the schoolbus. My car was about 60" long after the wreck. I had minor injuries: whiplash and a bruised face. My daughter suffered a broken femur and had to be in a body cast. She was 15 mos. old at the time and let me tell you - changing diapers on someone in a body cast is NO FUN!

my dad drilled into me to always take pics.....although back in the day you rarely ever had a camera every time you drove....with cell cameras you can document the accident immediately....:)

She was slick or thought she was slick in that she waited that long hoping that I would've destroyed or deleted the pictures I took. She knew I taken pictures. Even a disposable camera is a good idea.
