Please excuse my use of words, but I need to vent a little!
Sorry for the typos
You guys will never guess what just happened to me tonight.....

Ok, so I am driving to Class at 4ish, and I take my normal off ramp to enter the College. All is go and well untill I pull up to the light to make a right turn to head towards my class. There is Some POS maxima in the far right turn lane and I am on the left turn lane. [this is a two lane "right" turn lane thingy with a protected arrow.] So, as I am approaching the light at about 30mph, I see that the light just turn green for my "protected" turn. So I get to the turn and I slow down enough to make my right turn, and my car is now ahead of the POS maxima in the lane to my right. Then The stupid B***H next to me in the POS maxima makes her turn and starts to come over on me. Being the very aware drive I am, I slow doen even more because I know this B***H is going to come over in my lane. ANd as Fate has it the stupid B***H does come over. So I Blare my BADA$$, loud AirHorns, and the B***H still cam over and she actually hit me!
So my front Passenager bumper, is tapped by the POS maxima's rear quater panel. I am still blaring the Air Horns at her, and after she feels that she hits me, The B***H turns around and looks at me like I am an Idiot.
Get this.....After she looks at me, knowing full well that she hit me, The B***H just kept driving to the parking lot!

My car has the good old hard plastic, un-painted, bumper. The maxima looked like a POS looks like the B***H hits A LOT of things. Well....I park in my spot and luckly no damage was done to my baby, but I think that she might have some missing paint.

But what the is not the only thing I encountered today....First I am driving on the freeway approaching traffic, following some IS 300, and we are slowing down in our lane with nothing infront of us, and then some stupid person in a new GMC just come over in our lane an stops!
And after that I make a right turn into my street and some stupid lady in a new CADI STC just stopps in the middle of the street to pick up her little kid from school! Sad part is there was a parking lot right there she could of pulled into.

I am a pretty Damn good drive, and I know very well that other places have SH**Y drive, BUT I will tell you this.....CALIFORNIA has the Dumbest Mother F*****G drivers in the USA. In all my travels, even overseas, I have never seen such an assorted mix of Terrible, stupid, incoherrant, ignorant drives. EVER!

If you guys have some good stories like this that you want to add, then by all means GO FOR IT.

 

Dude, that SUX! I would have followed her and taken plates down. Though sounds like minimal to your car........It's a crazy *** world we live in.

 

You can't fix stupid. No point poppin' a vein in your noggin' over it.

 

I really dindnt what to involve the Cops for somethings so minor!

Damn Straight! Luckly that was nothing happened to my car!
And I actually was laughing at the moment.

 

That blows....sorry to hear that man.

I had a guy rear end me on the freeway in my brand new minivan. $12k worth of damage that they decided to fix instead of total out.

I............was...................pissed.

Mostly because I had both of my dogs in the back end. In their kennels thank God, because the collision popped the tail gate open.

 

Thank God they are okay.

UPDATE:

Well the other driver made a police report and I went to talk with the COP and my insurance people. Turns out that the guys made the police report but his story was only half right but he kind of addmitted fault in the rest of the story. And the evidence (well the "damage") shows him at falt in most of the peoples eyes. I am will not be suprized if this goes to court. This dude sounds like one of the guys how gets in accidents to collect money as a living.

 

is CA a 'fault state?'

 

Yeah. And since this was a "hit and run", It's a He says/ She says, and the insurance companies have "experts" to determind the fault or most likely the % of fault. I dont see how I can get any fault put on me. Well We'll just wait and see what happens.

 

So you are saying she came back and got your plates and filed a police report? Being it's the front of you car and the back of hers, I would be a little nervous.

 

I have lived in southern CA (so i know of what you speak TIPSP), in Detroit MI (where, in general, the drivers are aggressive, but good), and now in portland OR; by far the worst are here.

By worst, i mean the most oblivious to what is going on around them. If you ever drive around here, proceed with cautian; i have seen more red-light runners here than anywhere else. But it's kind of funny; they're not running the light because they're in a hurry, it's because they don't even notice the light at all!!! I swear, i think half of them are driving stoned!

 

It seems universal that those who first make the mistake look at you as if you made the mistake. The girl in the POS Maxima seem one of them.

I have lived in New England for 5.5 years and the majority of drivers there were good drivers. College students seemed one of the worsts, though.

I have lived in Illinois for 4 years and again the majority seemed fair.

Many people seem to get short-tempered once they are behind the wheel. I admit that I was a bit like that too in my early 20s.

I find drivers in Japan are horrible. The law says the pedestrians have the right-of-way but 9 out of 10 cars don't give a damn.

I like freedom but in certain cases people abuse it and end up suffering more strict regulations later on.

As a self defense, I tap on the brake pedal for 4-5 times to flash the brake lights when coming to a stop light and if someone is behind me. I also listen to my instinct and if I spot a car that I feel would do something silly, I either take another road or keep as much distance as possible.

These concerns, however, are not necessary for me at the moment as I am car-less.

Well my Mom got a call from the insurance people, and it turns out.....That.....I am 100% innocent! F*** YEAH!

But the other kids dad is being an idiot, and he wants to go to small claims court. I new this would happen, since I am in California.

 

Helll yeah and i hope that when it goes to court the judge says to the other guys dad or w.e ur an idiot ur stupid kids fault 100% get out !!!!!!

 

I hope the judge tells the idiot family not to waste his/citizens' time.


JPN

 

Going to court would be cool. Especially since you will make them look like idiots.

 

You poor thing. I despise people who can't drive. Hope your baby is ok!!!

 

Thanks, yeah she is fine.....

 

I live in Massachusetts, just south of Boston and if you want to see bad drivers you should come over here. We have even been dubbed the term "MASSholes" because of our drivers.
