Crash :(

[96_Fbird]

Well it's been raining since yesterday and today I got to find out just how slick the roads are. I was going about 30 mph (Speed limit is 35) following far back since i know our cars don't handle the best in the rain and 5 cars ahead of me i guess made a sharp turn with out really break before hand. Than caused the guy 2 cars ahead of me to slam on his breaks coming to a complete stop then the lady in front of me stopped very quickly (stopped to fast by her own words yet they never made it to the cop) and I then hit my breaks and slowly slid into her. There was no damage to the car she hit and only a few scratches from where i hit her. Sadly I slid under her car and bent my hood up pretty nicely :(. I just fixed my car and got it painted all within this year and now this happens. I got a ticket for following to close even though I wasn't. I guess i get why he wrote it but sucks he did. I wasn't close to her at all atleast 3 cars behind but well here are the pictures :(:(:(

Re: Crash :(

If you hit her, you were following too close, or not paying attention.

If you do not have control of your car, especially to the point of hitting another car, its your fault.


I have driven in rain conditions I am sure are a 100 million times worse then you have ever seen, in 3 different f-bodies, and never hit another car because of it.

These conditions include, sever thunderstorms, several tropical waves, several tropical depressions, several tropical storms, 2 Category 1 Hurricanes, and a 1 category 2 hurricane.

Re: Crash :(

I know im at fault. I still think its crappy that this lady wasn't paying attention but I can't do anything about that but just follow further back from now on.

Hurricanes? In Florida, bah those are just summer rainstorms with a little wind.

If you slid it's a little understandable but even so take your car out in an empty lot and toss it around a couple times to get the feel of it. Every time it's raining I intentionally get my car sideways (with no one around me, duh) just so I know how slick it is outside and that my car is going to respond to correcting it as close to the way i want it to.

Re: Crash :(

sucks dude, **** happens though.

we had a bunch of rain here today. i couldnt see 2 feet in front of me. my driving was fine, it was all the other idiots who couldnt seem to keep thier **** together.

i had one ******* pull out in front of me across 2 lanes of traffic not even 5 feet in front of me, luckily my driver mod is solid. i hit the brakes and realized quickly that the ground was too slick and i was going to hit him if i stayed in the brakes so instead i jerked to the left and missed him by about 5 inches by going into the center median used for turning and was fine.

im always more aware of idiots in bad weather because i dont trust anyone around me to be paying half as much attention as i am. in rain like that i always keep a good 5-6 cars between me and the car infront of me just in case and always on the look out for retards with driving privledges.

Re: Crash :(

The first couple posters are just being *******s, this guy just ****ed up his car, the last thing you should be doing is criticizing his driving.

Hey bro I feel you, it seems like you got off pretty easy, especially her car not being damaged too much, insurance is going to hurt though. Good luck with what ever happens ;)
