Too many stupid drivers allowed on the road
You would need stunt drivers and a few good rehearsals to duplicate the accident I got in this am. Driving maybe 36 on my way to work on a country road and out of the blue an older van pulls out in front of me from a street that comes in on my left. The street came in straight in at a 90, no merge or angles involved. So since he left me a choice of hard breaking to avoid hitting him or slow and turn sharp left into the side street and back into mine to avoid him; I chose the later. So since he clearly never sees me the bonehead does a sharp u-turn and hits my right rear quarter panel on my Tacoma and I had to do some fancy driving to avoid going into the woods.
My reaction was really you f'g a-hole, how the hell do you think you were possibly going to do that safely, just stay right there until the police come. Luckily two officers got the same story from both of us, but what concerns me is I hear the other driver say he lost his registration; hope he is insured or I'm screwed if I want to get it fixed.
I guess the good thing is that with the stories matching and no skid marks, clearly I couldn't possibly be speeding to get hit on a right rear quarter panel by an idiot pulling out of a street to my left. Sadly if I was speeding, I might have got by him without him getting his turn around.
Stupid drivers are everywhere, hard to avoid them all
