    I was rearended - AGAIN - today!

    I was rearended - AGAIN - today! 3rd time since Nov 30, 2009.
    I was hit at a Stop light by a hit and run drunk SUV going 45-50 mph in 2009.
    3 weeks ago an idiot slid into me on an icy hill.
    Tonight in stopped rush hour traffic the jerk behind me tried to accelerate and change lanes when traffic started inching forward. Pouring rain and we were under a big bridge (dark!) He didn't make it!

    Time to buy an F-650 Super Truck!

      Wow, sorry to hear this.

      Never seen the F-650, but I'd be scared to hit one.

        Sucks! My car got hit by a crazy drunk driver on Monday night after he hit another car in front of our house. Luckily my insurance recognized I had no fault in the matter and are waiving my deductible. Still a major pain in the *** because of a few idiots.

          Ever since I got hit from behind by a tanker truck while sitting at a stop light, I always nervously keep my eye on my rear view mirror.

              I have been rearended mutliple times...one which was really bad. Demolished my car and put me in physical therapy for a couple of months. For me personally, I realized over the years that I have really good reflexes. I can stop on a dime without skidding or screeching wheels. Unfortunately, most people don't posses this skill. All of my rear end collisions had to do with my ability to stop really fast but the person behind me could not....lesson learned. Now, I just presume that others do not have the same reflexes and go out of my way to drive within the speed limit (even though I feel I can go much faster and feel safe) and just keep my eyes peeled at all times.

                    I got rear-ended once...but in my defense, I was really drunk and walked into the wrong Bar.

                        I hope I didn't offend you Hotfoot...just trying to add a little levity.

                        I've also been rear-ended, just sitting at stop Light. Which sent me to the Hospital with a Neck injury.

                          I'm actually surprised that there aren't more auto accidents than there are with so many people doing everything possible except paying attention to the road.

                          Sorry you got tagged.
