Nope. Appropriately scary gif, though:

When I was little, someone rear-ended my sister. My brother was in the passenger seat & 2 kids my sister was watching in the back. I was on the console between the seats. The car flipped off the side of the road in a major ditch. My brother jumped across the seats in front of my sister and me and wound up having to get stitches.
My brother was in a really bad one. For once he was being not stupid and driving slow on the interstate 'cuz it was icy. 2 kids in another car exactly like his lost control going the other way. Their rear-end hit his front end - it pushed the engine & firewall back through and crushed his foot into like 70 pieces. They had to graft bone from his hip and put metal plates in, but didn't fix it right, so they had to go back and re-break it and put pins in. 2 kids in the other car died.
I backed into my friend's car once because he parked right on my ass. I kind of wrecked his fender.
Also, I was out grabbing lunch with my mom when some bitch in a Mercedes wouldn't get off her phone so she made a huge dent in my mom's car.
Nothing serious. Got rear-ended once and shoved into the car ahead of me. The people behind me were in a hurry to get to a wedding and were very uncooperative, it took me ten minutes just to get their phone number because they kept insisting they'll call me. I told them many times that they would get to the wedding faster if they'd just answer the damn question.
Nope, but one of my friends was. Thanks goodness he survived and didn't get serious damage.
I have been rear-ended quite a few times. I made money off my last car I was rear-ended so many times. I have rear-ended one person and a school bus, but neither were reported so they don't count.
I was in a couple when I was younger, but I've not been in one while I was actually driving. Hopefully that remains the case.
Omg, no. I would freak out. I hate driving near tractor trailers.Quote:

Funnily enough, that's how it feels to drive in a car with Shorty.
I am an excellent driver. I saved mine and Jiro's lives.
I hit a patch of black ice in winter and almost hit an oncoming bus with Peegee.... I made him get out in the middle of the road and take over.
And then the time I hit a parked car because I dropped a cigarette on my crotch on my way to get coffee for an all nighter study sesh.
AND ALMOST GOT INTO TWO ACCIDENTS IN A ROW WITH MEQuote:

-_-; Why do truck drivers get such a bad rep? They're not all bad. In fact, more often than not, a good majority of truck/car accidents are the car driver's fault. What happens is the truck gets heavily inspected and if there's -anything- found wrong on the truck, it's automatically the truck driver's fault. I'm not saying that there aren't bad truck drivers out there - I pretty much grew up in truck driving, so I know that and this gif is a good example. But, they're not all bad. I don't get nervous around them unless I'm completely boxed in - like 1 behind & in front of me and one beside me.Quote:
