I got hit by a car today

[Peegee]

No, not my body thank God. Here:

I was driving along the highway like usual, and I noticed the 2nd car in front of me was slowing down. So I start slowing down....then I noticed they weren't slowing down they were stopping (!!!!)

So I put more pressure on brakes and managed to stop. Looked in the mirror....

Weeeee car was barrelling down on me. Clunk. I go '><' and put the car in park, turn off the engine, etc. Guy behind me hasn't left the car yet...hmm... By the time I left the car the person behind us is checking on our friend here. He's dazed. His windshield is shattered. No damage to my car (at first glance). The guy behind us was driving a pickup -- the front is caved in.

=/

So we talk to the guy -- he's fine. The 3rd person has called cops and two tow trucks come by. I'm still fine so I drive off to the shoulder. Cops and Paramedics come and it seems everybody is fine except the person in the middle -- he ended up hitting his own face when the airbag exploded. At this point I notice my rear bumper is all out of whack -- the sides are unhinged.

My laptop's still in there actually. Gotta get it out.

But yeah, I'm fine, but I have a slight whiplash. Gonna see physio later.

Topic:

Car accidents, general maladies, and rantings :D

I got whiplash headbanging at my friends house once.

I got whiplash headbanging at my friends house once.

I get neck pains just sitting on the bus facing the wrong way. Like around here there are seats that face away from the front at an angle -- you try to sit that way and look at the front, you get neck cramps

><

[TheBrent]

Yeah, I know how ya feel. My neck could barely support the weight of my head for two days, I had to lie down most the time.

Yesterday, I thought I was gonna die in a car accident. I was in the front passanger seat and we were driving on the highway. Mom glanced out her window and was like "OMG WTF GAS PRICES ARE 3.05!11"! and then she drove on the cement pavement that had the seperator rail and she was like "Oh crap!" and she drove off quick, but the car started swerving like insane and on my side, there was a big 16 wheeler truck that if she would've hit, probably would've really hurt me. I was scared to death. xD But we didn't hit anything.

Nice One.

[TheBrent]

That sucks o.o The only thing close to a car wreck I've been in is riding in a car on an icy road, and the car spun out, I was with my grandma.

[Meat Puppet]

When I was like 11 I was riding my bike really fast and then all of a sudden white and pleasing thoughts and then I woke up in a field and I was pretty upset because I lost my shoe and all these Samoan ladies were hugging me and crying and one guy called me his brother but the actual chances of him being a like long lost brother or something were slim as he was really black and twice my age but he did carry my bike and I found my shoe eventually it was by a rock and I told my uncle pete that I got hit by a car and he put me in a bath and I had a gash on my left butt cheek. :-)

Moms are the second-worst drivers in the history of the world. The only group of people worse are grandmoms.

I don't trust people in cars at all. No matter how good they are there is someone out there who is bad enough to smash the good driver to pieces. Therefore never trust a driver.

[Luther X-Rated]

I run into random people on accident.

I think that counts : I

My dad and older sister were hit by a lorry, they spun upside down and ended up in the middle of the roundabout. And my dad and mum crashed into a skip.

I've a got a few.

1. When I was 2, I was sitting in a shopping cart at a furniture store. A desk on the top shelf near where I was fell on top of me, breaking my collarbone.

2. When I was 10, I was on my scooter with my brother and cousin. We went down a hill near where I used to live while crouching. I fell off and broke my left arm, along with getting several bruises, scratches, and cuts.

A 18-wheeler lorry smashed into the back of a friend's car when the guy driving was concentrating on his phone call rather than the road. Luckily A) The lorry was unloaded and B) the friend in question had a soccer mom-mobile with a large boot.

If the lorry was loaded, and we were in a smaller vehicle, my friend and I in the back seat would have been red meaty goop.
