    First Accident

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i got in my first accident this friday which really sucks balls and I'm at fault cause i hit the guy from behind. So here's the story i was going up a main street about to make a right while behind this guy who is also making a right hand turn. About 15-20 ft behind him in the middle of the turn in the middle of the street the guy in front of me decides its a great idea to come to a complete stop. He gets out of the car and says to me why were you tailgating me, and i say why the &%$# did you stop in the middle of the road for!?!?!?!?! so anyway we didnt go through insurance, he had like no damage only like 100 bucks i gotta give him and here is my car.






    and so end of story, my dad knows a body shop guy and always brings him work so im getting it done with out paying for any labor. Only paying for parts and supplies so he breaks even.

    Re: First Accident

    Sorry to hear that. I got in a similar accident where the lady in front of me stopped at a greenlight while I was looking back for and ambulance for a solid rear ender. Could have been worse but you live and you learn. Good luck with the fix.

    Re: First Accident

    sorry to hear about your misfortunes. i had something similar happen to me. I was following a guy on the Jersey turnpike at 1am and he drove over a piece of rubber and kicked it up which hit my hood and windshield. needless to say, i was out $1000 for a new hood and windshield. good to know that it isnt going to cost you too much and that your insurance isnt going to go up.

    Re: First Accident

    Sorry to hear it but u r at fault and i do the same freakin thing to all tailgaters, i'll brake check and if they don't let off i'll punch the brake pedal and then watch them swerve it's stupid and i can get myself killed if the guy is packin but that's the only way people learn a lesson, why should i have to be uncomfortable to use my proper braking force because i'm afraid the tailgater behind me might slam into me?

    If you're on passing lane and holding up the traffic, you should change lane.

    I can't stand when I'm just trying to move faster than the pace of traffic and someone feels its ok to block the passing lane and/or brake check me. Its just straight out dangerous for everyone.

    To the OP, last winter I was going down a street in a snow storm and I was keeping very good distance. I was in the same situation, I was going to take a right and the dump truck in front of me decided he wanted to take a right too. For no reason whatsoever he comes to a complete stop in the middle of the road. I hit the brakes(not too hard) and they just locked up. ABS kicked in and I just kept on sliding. Went right into the back of the dump truck and it was not pretty to say the least. In the end, as long as you yourself are ok, everything else will be fixed

    Re: First Accident

    Reguardless of speed you should move over. If you think I'm wrong tell that to Germany and the Autobahn. Even if you are 15 over the limit, unless there is a cop around it's just dangerous to the person behind you. Left lane is for fast, right is for slow/trucks.

    Re: First Accident

    ^^read the response if u tailgate to a point as to where i can't see ur tail lights i'm not moving, i usually move but if there are cars around me to a point where if i moved i'd have to change my speed darastically then i'm not moving i usually move faster than all the traffic anyway.

    Re: First Accident

    Got ya. I just hate the freakin left lane campers. If you see I'm coming up at 95 move the freak over lol. I'll tap the brake lights in town but on the highway reguarless of how close the guy behind me is I'll get over because I want karma to move cars over for me lol.
