Last night I went to the mall with my son. On the way there was an older 90's corolla front of us. From the middle of nowhere the corolla hit the curb and jumped up on it and hit a huge landscaping rock and a little pole for the parking sign. Bounced of from it and got back on the road. Broken parts were flying/sliding around. I hit the brake right after I see the corolla hitting the curb. Stopped far from all the parts on the road.

We all stopped and figures the driver was a 78 years old lady. She just like I don't know what happened. I told her just don't ask me because you would not be happy with my answer. She says why? Well I aksed her how old she is. She says 78. I noticed she had those medical sunglasses. So I told her do you have to wear glasses? She was wearing the glasses what she usually wears on a sunny days not the glasses what she supposed to wear when she drives. WTF. Cop was just 2 corners away try to catch some speeders and showed up when she tried to put her normal glasses on. Anyways me and my son were ready to go after we gave the officer our statment. My son on the way to the mall like wow. What she was thinking?

Today raining my wife @ work and since winter is around the corner I told my son to go and get a pair of boots for him. On the way hwy driving. Hit the light when was turning yellow. I keep distances well so when the car stopped front of me I did not have to hit my brake to hard to stop. But the Linkoln behind me ended up hitting the curb because he couldn't stop, his wheel looked funny like a 45 degree angle. Bumper and the front panel looked banged up too. My son didn't even noticed it till he heard the bang. He's like oh now another one. Anyways we got out of the car and the guy jumps out from the car and try to blame it on me. He is like why did you have to hit the brake so hard. I started to laugh and asked if he can see what is in the front of me. Than he realized there is a car duh. I told him even without that he should just keep the damn distance he need to stop if somebody hits the brake front of him. Anyways we called the cops. I wasted another damn hour to get going.

I have tickets to go to see the 007 not sure if I want to drive! Bunch of idiots on the road.

Have not been in accident before where I was the faulty but I've been in few where I was witness. Few years ago was the last one. Now in less than 24 hours twice. Non of these my fault but still hate been in an accident.

WOW!!! I think I would get some beers & stay home!!! Glad you were not involved. People in too much of a hurry and need to go back and read the DMV book!!!!

Last accident I saw was about 30 yards ahead of us. Was getting dark. Wifie was driving cause I had had a couple of beers. Think was had been out to eat....anyway, we see a pickup truck up ahead stop, lift up and go sideways to a stop....then, we notice it had hit an SUV broadside.Think it was an illegal, cause when I jumped out to see if everybody was ok, I never saw the driver of the old pickup. He must have bolted (not going to get on that soapbox...)There was an older lady in the SUV and she was a little shaken.

Well done! You know what they say, "when it rains, it pours". Some days are just filled with mysterious events going on around my G. thats why I have to feel 100% sound before I ever drive the G. There are lots of stupid people out there looking to make the life of a G owner, difficult. Again, well done!
