Wow. Did their insurance not cover it for you?

I got into a fender bender a few months ago. I thought it was my fault, but luckily (for me, anyway) the adjuster found that the other driver was at fault. Thank God the rates didn't go up. They eat me alive as it is.

Oohh.....slam. Bet that gave you a nice neck-ache. Sucks when that happens, I won't even go into the drunk driver thing..

Yeah they covered it, still working out the rest though.

Holy Crap! That is one heck of a wake-up call.

It was one hard hit, but I have had many wrecks worse than that.

One was in the 98 Eclipse coming up I-65 and an 18 wheeler jack-knifed and hit the median. When he hit the median a large chunk of concrete came into my lane on the opposite side of the interstate, that chunk landed on my hood. I was doing 85mph at the time, my passenger about shit his pants. I am kind of a wreck veteran so I knew what to do and checked my mirrors as quickly as I could and got off the road. Needless to say our lane was freaking out, it was raining water and concrete at the same time.

A chunk of that concrete went up under the Eclipse and did some damage there too. If you add the I-65 and 5 rear enders, and one side swipe the Eclipse had 7 wrecks in 7 years that I owned it.

I have been involved in 14-15 wrecks and 3 of those bad enough that I probably could have had serious injuries.

Damn, how fast were they going when they hit you?

I am thinking 50mph, we were stopped at a light.

But I drove my car for work, that has to make a difference when you are on the road that much.

I'm knocking on wood myself. I've been driving from pensacola to daphne for work since 2002. I'm not on the road all day but thats 100 miles a day. I've only had 1 speeding ticket in that time and no accidents. I see the crazy drivers and know that somehow some day I could get in an accident.
