Ok...since I didn't have a camera available, and snails drawing is a little wacked...I will elaborate.
Yesterday afternoon, while in a chat, I hear a delivery truck go by my apartment...which is common because there is a warehouse accross the street from me. About two seconds later, I hear tires screech, then the sound of two cars mating together in twisted metal extacy.
I go out on my little "balcony", if you will, and see the back end of said delivery truck and what little bit I can see of a Daihatsu move...like the one snail pictured earlier. Now...for some background.
I live about 100 feet or so from a very bad corner...blind that is. The road I live on goes east-west, and at the intersection, that directions has a stop sign, but it's in a very bad place and hard to see if you don't know where to look. The road that goes north-south does not have a stop sign. So...
The delivery truck did not see the stop sign, and did not yield like most sane people would do at a blind corner, and hit the front right fender of said Daihatsu Move. The damage wasn't as bad as previously though, the driver did make an attempt to stop so the damage to his little cracker jack box on wheels was minimal.
If you look on the pic that is included, you will see on the left side of the east bound road, there are two houses. One of those houses has a concrete wall that is about 8' high, so that makes that part the blind corner.Coming west, the left side of said corner has a parking lot that is always full of cars, and hard as hell to see anything, making it a blind corner as well.
The wife read in the paper today that the driver of the delivery truck was ticketed for not stoping at a stop sign and expired vehicle inspection....which is bizzare since it is a major delivery company. Some guys have all the luck.
Ok...now, I see that the pic is really small, sorry guys.
