ok i am sick of the idiot drivers in this town... earlier tonight i was getting on to I-90 westbound from pines, merged into "traffic"(all two other vehicles), then had some idiot in a dodge dakota pass me in the merge lane from behind me almost hitting me, swerved, tires lost traction, slid into the center wall... left side totally thrashed, will not even drive...

.... you should just be thankful your inability to control your vehicle didn't kill someone.

my control of the vehicle was what kept only my vehicle being damaged, and kept both passengers in my car NOT injured...

BTW thank you so much for flaming... in the future, if you can't talk nicely to me, you will just be ignored...

I think what he means is "lucky this didn't turn into a more severe, multiple accident"

If that comment were meant to be positive it should have been more like "you should just be thankful your ability to control your vehicle didn't kill someone."

wow, they totalled it for that? You should go to a body shop and see what they would charge to repair it. Maybe taking the insurance money and paying to repair it would give you a bunch of extra money. It is worth a shot. Especially on a car that will have tons of miles.

No flaming, I really feel you should be thankful to be alive, rather than blaming everyone else in the world for your mistake.

Btw, you can just ignore me, there is no rule telling me you have to give me warning.

The dakota "almost hit him" - Even if it was on a 100% collision course with him while passing, moving 5 feet to the left would have been fine. He overreacted, and that's why his car is totaled, not the dakota.

Yes, I'd imagine merging on the 101 or the 405 a single time more cars come close to hitting me than a year's worth of driving in, say, rural Arkansas.



I like how when someone posts accident pictures and admits to going 5 to 10 mph over the speed limit, everyone on the forum comes in and gives him the third degree, but when I say someone should be thankful to be alive instead of blaming others for an accident they could have avoided, I'm "mean"
