I hit a 12 year old girl once. She rolled up on the hood and bounced off the windshield. Now THAT will freak a dude out.

She was okay though.

Sh!t, you OK? Bet it put the wind up you. I've been there Eden, few years ago, I hit a guy who was running across the road. I was doing 45mph, knocked him a good 20 feet down the road. Made a real mess of the car too. Guy was drunk, and it probably saved him, because his body was relaxed. Had he been sober, he'd probably have snuffed it.

Best of it was though was the next day. They toweed my car home late the same night, and the insurance company arranged for the windscreen to be replaced, as it was totally smashed, before I could drive it to the garage to be booked in for the body repair. The guy turns up, I make him a cup of tea, he takes one look at my windscreen and says:

"Bloody hell mate, what hit your car?!" I reply:

"A bloke". End of conversation. He got on with it pretty damn quick and got the hell out of there.

LMAO!!!

I had a guy hit me to try & collect the insurance. He was drunk a bit.. He came out to the center line of the road, in town. I saw him stop & looked he was waiting for me to pass. Just when I was going to pass, he jumped in front of my car. I nailed my brakes & stopped just short of him. He put his hands on my hood & pushed himself down in front of the car... I never touched him...

My insurance co. found out he was homeless, legally blind, but could see some & had done the same thing, in the same town, 3 times... He still got $14,000 out of the insurance co.... :frown:

That was in 70... I'd hate to see what he would have gotten today... :eek:

I got rear ended by a guy & his Family while I was in the service... The cop said it was my fault, but didn't write me a ticket... I was a GI & he'd lived there his whole life. I got the shaft on the one...

I got home from the service & one day the sheriff came to the house & served me 4 summons's totaling $100,000... They listed each injury & what it cost!! Woman broke her ankle = $8,500 Missed her period because of the wreck = $47,500!!!!! I go like, you've got to be sh-ttin me, right???? :eek:

I never heard what they settled on...

Hang on. You got rear ended and they said it was <i>your</i> fault? WTF. That's messed up. Over here, if you go into the back of someone, you're to blame. End of discussion.

Should have used that whole family for some additional target practice. Bludging scum like that wouldn't be missed. I hate bastards like that.

Mainly because I was a GI stationed in their town, & my insurance co. didn't sell insurance in that state.. So they had another insurance co. handle it.. I was mad, but nothing I could do about it..

I have always wondered if he jumped in front of a car, one too many times though!!! :evil:

I hear the upgraded SR71 will work for you. Of course it gains 12 inches in length at Mock3 but its gas tanks also leak until the vehicle heats up.

Of course it is an aircraft and not a car BUT HEY you can get to England from Edwards Air Force base in half an hour :smile:

You hit someone with your car, and you view that as a good thing???


I guess if you had killed the guy that would have been a three day party for you right.


And you just got your drivers license. :frown:

Two stories for the price of one!!

Driving home from work one night maybe 7 years ago... It was pouring rain. Merged onto the highway, and started hydroplaneing almost imediately. Spun around a few times and ended up on the inside (divided highway) shoulder facing oncoming traffic, just one tire off the road. The bitch that I was passing as I was merging hit me, but it was just a bump. I had an '85 Ford LDT Crown Victoria, so it was a tank. I had a dent in the corner of my fender that looked like it had been hit with a baseball. Her car wasn't much worse. We quickly swapped insurance info and left because it was pouring. I tried calling her two or three times and left messages. My insurance company called her a few times too, no response. Almost two years later to the day, I received a summons for "in excess of $50,000 in bodily damage". My insurance company ended up settling for WAY less than that, but I don't know exactly how much.

Damn bitches....

So now for a better story! A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, so we shall call him KBear :wink: was riding his bike to my place once with a video game console (NES I believe) and some games in a backpack. He turned to check the bag, and when he turned forward again, he noticed the parked car in front of him. Nailed the rear bumper, flew onto the car and rolled of the side to the street.. :lol: Got up, looked around, no one seemed to see him, so he got on his bike and kept going.... :cool:

Oh, how I wish I could have seen that....

I have drivin cross country several times, and up and down both coasts.
Washington DC is the best place to drive. I rarely saw accidents and people travel at about 85-90MPH bumper to bumper. Seriously you couldn't fit a geo metro between the cars. and even at 90PMH no accidents. (btw this is all on the beltway and thats 55MPH speed limit.)

The worst is unfortunatly where i live now, Seattle, the 405/5 interchange has more then 4times the number of people it was built for. At 5pm, it takes more then 2.5hours to go 33miles.

I would rather drive all day in a flat boring state then sit in traffic for hours.

That's funny. I clipped a guy riding his bike once as a kid. I was rolling a joint at the time with friends and it was around dusk. I didn't even see him. His bike flipped like 50 feet in the air and landed in some corn field. We didn't stop (stoned) but never heard anything on the news that anyone got hurt or whatever. I can also cross that off my list of things to do before I die.

Speaking as a cyclist who was recently run over by a motorist, I think I can safely say that you are a complete focking arsehole. Morons like you should be gassed at birth. Twat.

Yeah, I'm OK now. Fractured my arm, lots of bruising and scraped skin. Plus one trashed bike. 3 nights in hospital with some very tasty nurses though :smile:

Most words are OK. Bollocks, Piss, Arse etc etc. It's when you come to the top drawer insults that the censoring starts. I use Sh!t and Fock to replace the obvious. Twat seems OK. Maybe Fredi hasn't got round to British terminology yet, much to my relief. Here endeth your first swearing masterclass. :lol:

You think that's bad. The other day my friends and I were stretching sran wrap between two trees crossing the road. When bikers (of all types) hit it they spring back off their bikes and the bike just goes ghost riding down the road. We're putting some of the video clips on the internet soon. Expect to see them around.

You really are a pathetic, crass little person aren't you? You're actually proud of the fact you cause serious injury to people. Maybe you're just compensating for the fact that you don't have a dick.
