Wow, my Yaris got in an accident. You won't believe the situation

Yikes, about the same thing happened to me in the commuter lot at school today!

As I was pulling out of a spot (forward), I see that a girl is backing out one spot over across the lane, so I stop. She just keeps backing up, and I think to myself, 'This idiot is going back right into the front of my car!'

So, I lay on the horn and she just keeps backing up, the whole time I can see that not once did she look behind her, she just was looking out of her side window. Luckily, she stopped inches away from my front bumper.

Sorry to hear you weren't as lucky, but seriously, what's wrong with a person that they would throw a car into reverse and not once look behind them to see that, oh gee, there's another car back there?

I teach driving, and the amount of people who think it's normal to back up while looking forward is insane. It's one of the things I nag people about the most.

Wow. Just wow. I don't know how you'd ever keep your sanity teaching folks that would even think that would be normal. That's pure idiocy.
