sideways pics are because of camera phone and too lazy to change the orientation...

this was yesterday, copy and pasted from another forum...

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...

He was, and look at where that landed him.

At least you are alright! Just today had a 18 wheeler smash into the back of a sedan. Sedan got into the highway at a slow speed when the highway was moving at full speed, and well, stupid lady didn't look or just though "well they will stop for me since I am merging, no rules broken there!", and unfortunately, BAM smashed her back into the rear window and sent the truck to the side of the road.

I have noticed something with accidents, when they dont involve racing, they will always involve a person driving "normal" or driving at below average moving speed/
