Title: That was close!
Post by: muebe on August 08, 2012, 08:45:55 AM
My wife calls me to say she was in an accident. Thank god everyone was ok. She was driving in the fast lane and heard a bang then almost lost control of her SUV. She was very startled and pulled off the freeway. The guy who hit her followed her off the freeway. He stated that a car moved into his lane and he moved to avoid him and hit my wife's vehicle. Of course that other guy never stopped. My kids were in the back in their car seats. Everyone be careful out there....

Dang! Glad everyone is OK.  Dents and scrapes can be fixed. Family members, not as easily.

As long as the "precious cargo" (family) is safe, the other is just stuff and can be replaced.

Good to here the family is safe

A clip in the back corner like that can put you into a slide that so easy to over correct and send you right back into traffic

Good driving Mrs Muebe

We have morons like the one who caused that accident and drove off here too

See it way to often, 4 lanes wide goin 65/70 bumper to bumper then some moron has gotta get in front of the truck (that would be me in the truck) just so the moron can take the next off ramp.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys & gals. They are appreciated ;)

Everyone try not to become complacent. Keep a good space cushion between other drivers. I try to stay away from everyone when possible. Even when you are doing everything right it just takes one mistake by another driver. Stay safe everyone....

Glad everyone is ok Muebe. But what a pinehead, cause an accident by avioding an accident. I know, I know as long as everyone is safe but I drive semi 10 to 16 hours a day. Care to guess how many idiots I have to swerve to avoid getting involved in an accident each day and I still have never swerved into another car to avoid getting hit. In fact if it is going that way the pinehead will have to hit me cause as soon as I leave my lane and hit someone I am at fault. I get a new bumper almost every year.  ;D
