Howie, This is the sort of things that happen our roads on a daily basis, people don't seem to be aware of what is around them anymore.
What I really love is these people who speed down the road to try to get their destination quicker, just to have you pull up to them 2 miles down the road, do these people think at all?

I stop at a stop sign and continue on via one of the main roads in the shopping center that separates parking areas. I notice that on my right is a car leaving the parking area at a stop sign. Just as I'm passing this car I see the headlights lurch forward in my peripheral vision. Well, this woman T-boned the side of my car. Most of the damage was to the front pasenger door with a lot of additional damage to the rear door and slight damage to small parts of the front and rear quarter panels. We get out of our cars and she says something like "oh, I didn't see you." Well, I'm not sure how that could even be since my car was, at that point, directly in front of hers. Thankfully nobody was hurt and I didn't have any passengers in my car (It may have been bad if someone was sitting on that side of the car). To me, she was in so much of a damned rush to get to the next store or whatever. She must have really stomped on the gas to 1) even hit my car (the side of my car had to be a good 6+ feet away from hers when I was passing initially) and 2) to cause so much damage. When the police officer arrived the driver gave her some bs story about how she was in the process of turning when our cars collided. The officer said that that was highly unlikely since the damage was to the side of my car and all of the damage on her car was to the front bumper. God, like I need this. I wish people would at least watch the damned road when driving. She could easily have hurt or killed someone and, for what? Bah, humbug... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:187761 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
