I have had to make a totally aggressive defensive move every day this week to avoid a collision. REALLY? Why can't people just drive? Had a guy run a yield sign this morning and pull right in front of me.

:argh

His car was bigger than mine. ;)

He had a Pimpala. He probably wished I would have hit him so he could get something else.

LOL @ "Pimpala" never heard that before...

But I've gotten to the point where i just expect people to be bad drivers... kind sad... and im surprised when they drive well.

for example... my pet peeve is when someone makes a right hand turn into the left lane, or left hand turn into the right lane. it completly disrupts the flow of traffic.

I have once once witnessed a person get a ticket for doing that, it made my day! lol

If he had merged in and cause you to hit him then technically it's still his fault for "failure to yield right ow way". Of course, you'd have a wrecked car regardless.

And I can't do that. I'm down to one now. :frown:

Had to add rental insurance to both our policys. We always had plenty of other cars to drive, but now we only have 2 like most normal people.

yep only two cars at my house now... my rental coverage came in handy for 2 weeks once. car shop ended up taking 2 weeks just to replace my bumper cover after it was damaged by a tire tread like 2 years ago. its max a 1 week job if you include that people are infront of me in line to get their car fixed, but they installed it wrong and i made them fix it. (thats a whole nother story of how i discovered the installed it wrong) But without my rental coverage since they where technically "done" id been without a car for the extra week.

We had to pay for a rental the week they worked on David's truck from the a-hole keying it. He won't drive my cars. Gee...I wonder why?? :biggrin:

We hit a deer in his truck the other night. When the first one crossed, he slowed down a lot and by the time the 2nd one came across he was almost stopped. Made a horrible sound, but I don't see any damage to the truck except a little fur on the bumper. The deer got up and ran off. I hope it is OK. :frown:

Gosh...I need to do that. We have 50 million deer out near our house. I wish someone would come shoot them with a tranquilzer gun and take them further out from the city. If I hit one with my car.....it ain't gonna fair so well. (Did that sound southern?).

"Printable" put a damper on a couple of my faves too. I won't even begin to tell you what I call a Focus.
