Coming up fox mill rd towards my house around 4:45am, went up a hill. As I reached the top, saw a car sideways in the road about 15 ft from the crest of the hill. The driver was out of his vehicle and in my lane. Swerved left, Locked the brakes up, screamed like a bitch, threw my hands up and had impact.
Radiator support smashed in, front pass hub busted, hood, fenders, windshield, rear quarter panel dented.
Bruised knee and bloody nose from the airbag.
Guy blew a .16 BAC (repeat offender) and they locked him up.
Glad to be alive and hope I get something out of this. New car?
Don't really know if he's at fault though, so I might not get anything out of this since his car was stopped and I hit him. sigh. going to the hospital now.

.16BAC, you could have kicked his ass and raped his dog, it would have been his fault.

its not a bad idea at the last millisecond. saves hand injury
and it looks like the choices were hit a guy or hit his car (or maybe hit a tree?)
he made the right choice

thats what i thought back to when i read this post... but who knows the street is a different situation I guess.
just curious, what kinda car were you driving??? glad your cool though, drunk drivers suck.
sorry to hear that man. Hope everything gets fixed up.
legally drunk is .08, he was twice that. I believe he would be at fault.

which is why, when I knew I was going to hit I put my hands in my lap and relaxed.

The cross my chest seat belt hurt way more than anything...it still hurts a bit. It felt like I got an elbow Superfly style in the sternum.
