I too hope that you are doing well. I hope that there isn't too much of a lasting effect either (injury, costs related to the collision, etc.). I hope that your insurance pays for all related costs etc., but its good to know that whatever the case, you are OK.

Sorry guys I typed that up from a bed in the ER and my phone died right after. I'm back home and generally ok but pretty pissed that so many stupid people get licenses. A guy was trying to catch a light that was turning red and plowed right into me. Then tried to insist I had a red light and was on the phone...

When you say they "caught you in your panties"... did you have your cans out?
(the k701 of course)

So they arrested the dude that hit you, yes?

That sounds very unpleasant. I always wait several seconds before I cross the intersection, because I've had some close calls in the past.

It's good to hear you're well enough to post from your ER bed. If the car is still drivable I'm thinking "Cash for Clunkers".

I always wear my special pair of panties just in case I run into 5 doctors. Stop using your car to attract a mate.

Glad to hear you're doing well enough to text while in the ER. Could have been much worse and we are happy nothing happened to our little Gatto.

lol

I'm glad that you were not seriously injured Gatto.

My T bone was in 2002, Christmas Eve. A woman in a white Mustang was obviously in too much of a hurry to take care before pulling away from a stop sign. I would always call this the "Intersection Of Death". Since then the city has installed traffic lights.

I spun the car 180 degrees...never did see where her wheel went...I was driving the red truck.The woman was not seriously injured.

I have yet to figure out if it's just a southern thing or what, but there's a bit of granny advice that is prolific round here: Always make sure you wear clean underwear. Originally, I thought the idiom was coined to promote sanitation. Turns out I was wrong. It's to prevent embarrassment at the ER. Who knew.

I'm glad you weren't squashed-up badly.

Glad you're ok!

This is the part that really riles me up! Since when does a human being first think "oh my god, I'd better lie to avoid liability" rather than "aargh! I'd better check that she is ok!"

I have actually served as a witness to car accidents on several occasions (just to the responding offer, not in any court)...and it is amazing how many people are, deep down, unscrupulous pieces of spit. Until a witness shows up and corroborates the true story of the one who was hit/injured/property-damaged. So to all you chickenspits out there...we are watching, and lying makes us angry.

Posting to head-fi from an ER bed shows serious dedication.

I assume you were making a left turn? Glad you're not seriously injured. Sounds like that guy was severely delayed by his attempt to get wherever he was going a little quicker.
