I had another friend kept swapping the plates off his cutlass, then his camaro, and both of those are in scrap yards now, both through no fault of his own...got new plates for his current cutlass, and hasn't had any problems

Resale value was already destroyed by the last accident. I went after diminished value only to find out the lady had insufficient personal property liability.

Visibity issues are my number one complaint against trucks and SUVs. Not only can you not see around/through them on the road, they generally don't see you... especially if you're in a small sports car. They make all the reasonably priced, fun cars too unsafe for public roads.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Funny enough you should say that, Chris, I was hit by an SUV in my recent accident, as well.

and by a Neon, of all things.
Although, that was idiocy on the part of the econojunkbox owner... who'd have thought - a Neon owner?!

With the stories I've heard from many people this evening about the condition of Fairfax and Arlington County, I'd say that pretty much everybody was vulnerable. People I know in Loudoun said it wasn't that bad...

Loudon wasn't too bad, but the roads in WV were worse than anyhting in nova - really sticky snow that didn't get plowed/salted before people ran over it and turned it into a nice sheet of ice. Got to enjoy that for about 15 miles of my ride home

Jesus Christ John, I'm sorry.
I'll 2nd the vote for the ROLNTRGT plates. For the record, the problem in trucks and SUVs is not visibility, it is the assclown driving that doesn't give a shit. I drive a big f'in truck every day and have never had any problems merging in on people or scrubbed against something and not realized it/not expected it (the only things I've hit was a trashcan in the middle of a parking space I intentionally rammed and a traffic cone). |
