Stachman31 Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Last week after brunch with my wife, I was hit broadside by a yahoo in a Mustang. I wish I had my camera at the time of the accident, because his car was smashed like an accordian. His mustang is about 2 feet shorter than normal. His was totalled. Mine sustained about $7,000 damage. It is good to have a big truck. My wife who is 25 weeks pregnant and I sustained no injuries, and neither did the dope in the car. Technically the accident was my fault because I was taking a left accross two lanes of traffic, and he claims to have been going straight. I know that I looked both ways twice before I left the parking lot and there was no-one in sight in either direction. Heck, I have a pregnant wife, and do not take any chances when she is with me. When the cop showed up he told his side of the story and I told mine. She said that he had the right of way and I was getting a ticket. At this point in time I was getting ready to yell at someone, but I was able to relax. As I composed myself I went over to the lady cop who was writing out my ticket, and asked her if there could be any other possible way this accident could have happened. I asked her if it were possible that this other driver might have pulled out of a sidestreet at a high rate of speed and was taking a left the same time as me. She told me that it was possible, but that wasn't his story. I told her that I have an obvious pregnant wife (25 weeks) and would take no chances with her in the car under any circumstances. I asked her if it was plausable that this person wearing a Lions jersey might have been very reckless in driving because he was late for the game. It was 11:50 am on Sunday, and the Lions played at 1 pm. Hmmm Ford Field was about an hour away at least. She seemed to understand my point of view. Needless to say I did not get a ticket. Sometimes talking rationally does work. Should get my Dodge Ram back next week, after the body shop does their magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeMachine Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 WOW thats horrible, good thingit was a ram, serious car injuries can hurt the newborn, but im sure your pregnacy is still in a state of production meaning it has little head and little body but not have build any ligaments yet, so yea, good thing it was the driver side.
