So I\'m minding my own buisiness driving home from work, and this broad decides to make a left turn in front of me and BLAMMO.... rams me on the drivers side of my car and rams me into a telephone pole.
My car is completely totaled.
Luckily, I\'m ok.
I hit my face on the rear-view mirror and have some nasty cuts on my forehead from that.
I also got glass shards in my left eye-lid. The doctor told me I was very very close to losing my left eye.
But, things could be way worse, so I won\'t ccomplain... yet
The lady who hit my was driving her VERY nice company car, and is now saying I ran a red light.... Which I KNOW I didn\'t.... My girlfriend says she is just scared from totalling her company car.
Damn women.
*sigh... What a freakin\' day.
-
can you still get it up?
-
you totaled your girlfriends company car, or is she worried the lady\'s company will take her side?

Huh?
No no no... the lady who hit me was driving her company car.
And as faar as I know the bits \'n pieces are still working fine.
-
Women are some of the worst drivers.
Glad your ok guy
-
Women supposedly have better peripheral vision while men have better depth perception.
Yeah. Damn chicago female drivers. I would have killed her and her family. heh. Well i would have felt like it. I hate stupid drivers. I get caught with them all the time on Lakeshore Drive.
-
Dude, you should be getting free head for a few weeks for that one.
-
I\'m hopeing.
Sarah says my face looks "sexy" all cut up:)
Then again, she\'s crazy.
-
glad to hear you are okay...
If its really the driver\'s fault (the woman who slammed into you) and she denied it and said it was your fault...
5 letters to describe her:
B!TCH!!!

Damn that sucks

I dunno...
The only problem is now I have to wait like 6 weeks while they do an ivestigation before I can get anything towards a new car.
I have no idea how I\'m going to get to work everyday.
This lady is screwing my life up because she\'s too scared to admit she f\'d up.
P.S.. My face looks like hamburger today:)
-
pics, please....
I always liked having a f*cked up face.. people are scared of you.
-
I\'m gonna try to get some pics taked today of my car and my face.... you know I\'ll post \'em.
Yesterday after I got released I was just sittin\' in the waiting room, working on my laptop, with my face all messed up and my shirt and pants all bloody.
I got some awesome looks.
-
Hey luke, it could have been worse...... It could have been me. ;)
and atleast you were in a car when you were hit by one.. Myself, i didn\'t have that luxary. :(
-
^^^
Soulgrind couldn\'t have pick a better time to make a joke out of this. LOL...
well Luke, how is your eye and your body doing?
-
I\'m real sore, and my face basically looks like I was in a nasty barfight...
Which I won of course.
And Soully actually made me laugh... for once:)
Oh, and that was YOU I hit Soully?
Sorry about that.
-
Luke, sorry to hear about it. Women definitely are terrible drivers. I\'ve almost gotten into a couple accidents, all of which a woman would have been involved (and her fault) and me being very pissed. I was driving on a main road one day going to PC Richard to check out a head unit for my car (very nice might I add). I was 20 feet from this woman in I think a Camry or Carola and she started to dart out. I beeped my horn and had to go into the other side of the road to avoid her. She then cut off the Jeep that was behind me and that guy was about 15 feet behind me. I saw that guy slam on his brakes. Women I tell ya. They shouldn\'t be allowed to drive. If I hit that woman, it would have been an ugly crash because I was going 45 :mad:
-
Ummmm...
Anyone else notice that this woman\'s story won\'t hold up?
If she claims you ran a red light while she was making a left turn in front of you and crashed into your passenger side, then it means she was running a red light, too.
Either way, she\'s at fault...
-

Yup.
-
Does your city have left turn signals at that intersection? If not, then it\'s possible that a person turning left would have to wait until the light was red before making the left turn. This is common in cities I\'ve lived in here in California & Arizona. If you ran the red light, then you would probably be at fault.
I\'m not saying you did. :) I would think the burden of proof would be on her, and it may be difficult for her to prove your light was red, unless there are cameras installed on that intersection. Did she or the police collect any witnesses at the scene?
-
Where I live, it\'s "Yield on Green". If that green ligt turns yellow and then red and she makes the left turn, she ran a red light. I actually got someone a ticket that way. I was going straight through an intersection when the light turned yellow. There was a car on the opposite side making a left but had to wait for me. B the time I passed him, the light turned red and the car proceeded to make its left turn. Unfortunately, a police car was behind him and pulled him over for running a red light.
Wasn\'t my intention.
-
From a good three days of driving around Chicago, I have to admit that it is a horrible driving city. Traffic sucks too.
Glad to hear you\'re okay.
-
glad your ok Luke...
Hope you sue the other drivers ass off to get a nice little bundle of money.
Lets hope everyone sends you a online get well/ glad your ok reply
but knowing this forum...
/me waits for someone like theomen to make a penis related joke at your expence...
//me looks at second post in thread...
Owww God Dman it :(
-
Ooops, I just noticed you said she hit your DRIVER\'s side and not PASSENGER...
Means she was coming in the opposite direction and if there was a left turn signal, then she might have a case...
Otherwise, she\'s screwed...

You mean drivers side door. If she hit his passenger side door then she couldnt have ran a red light. It could be a case like cored said. There are healthy amounts of left turn arrows.
Or it could all be about etiquette. Say she was waiting to turn and many times a car will be in the intersection when the light is about to turn red (because they want to turn). Then good ol luke runs the redlight when shes turning and WHAM!
Though i doubt thats the case. After all she IS a woman:rolleyes:.
Where were you hit (in terms of location in the city).
-
Posted right before you...
My initial impression was that she was to the right of Luke and decided to cut over to the left lane to make the turn but instead crashed into him...
Then, she decides to claim that he was running a red light so she couldn\'t cut through the intersection and instead hit him...
If that was true, it means she was also running a red light...
Then, I re-read it and noticed she was coming in the opposite direction...
-
Bastard. :p
-
You guys are brutal. :D I\'ve been in 3 crashes so far; one in high school from a fellow male classmate who was speeding, and then 2 mid-age women. The women mistakes were just stupid and they weren\'t thinking. The male teenager was just going too fast but saw what was going to happen and slammed on his brakes.
Of the two women one admitted it was her fault, and one REALLY tried to pin it on me. Neither of us had witnesses so since there was a conflict of story we each just paid for our own damages. Mine was about $600, her\'s about $1350 to her brand new Honda Element. Muhahaha she even called my insurance agent trying to bully her into paying by saying she\'s a cop.
Oh yeah, glad you\'re ok Luke. :)

how the hell was she able to know you were driving through the red light if she was coming from the opposite site?

:screwy: The light is usually the same on opposite sides of the intersection... unless there are left turn arrows.
-
lol, i cant get my head around this situation, im stuck in the mindset of driving on the left and sitting on the right lol
-
We do have left turn arrows here... BUT they always come before the opposite side gets a green light.
Meaning if she had a green arrow, I would have had a red light for at least 3 or 4 minutes.
Theres no frickin\' way I\'m driving towards a light which I can clearly see for a good 45 seconds, and it\'s red the whole time, and I just fly through it.
I\'m a damn good defensive driver, I\'ve never run a red light in my entire life, much less one where I had close to a minute to stare at before I ran it.
What I think happened was.....
We both had a green light, she misjudged how much time she hada to turn and hit me.
or...
She might have thought I was also in the left turn lane, and was expecting me to slow and turn left in front of her.
Either way, I KNOW I didn\'t run a red light... I was going straight, she was turning into my path and she frickin\' creamed me.
P.S. As soon as I get some pics scanned I\'ll post em.

On Nothwest Hwy. Just outside of Palentine.

Stupid suburbs. The only ones ill even touch on a semi regular bassis are Evanston, Skokie, Beverly, and Calumet Park. There are a few others but mostly Evanston and Skokie. Im a northern boy. I hate the west side and i can tolerate the south side (depening on where). Not that it really matters.

Especially here in New Jersey. Imagine a woman driver anywhere else and multiply that by 10. That is the typical female Jersey driver. Right clips? ;)
