Slowed down for road debris and a berkeleyhead in a jeep SUV slammed into me. At the ER now for stiches and xrays.

had a similar situation the other week slowing for a rubber alligator in the left lane of the key bridge with a tractor trailer adjacent to me in the right lane, even with putting my hazards on under braking the F150 behind me found it appropriate to drive through my rear windscreen. I hope that you're feeling better soon.

Oh man, I am really glad you're alright. It's just a car..... and as we've seen, elises sans clam are badass.... so there's that.

Oh dammit. Glad you're okay, sorry about the car.

When will people learn that ABS is to avoid the accident by allowing the wheels to turn to allow the driver to actually drive around the accident?

Also, following distance should be something people in larger vehicles should actually think about.

Another berktard texting-and-driving, I bet. I had someone in a new Swift lightly bump the back of me even though I was coming to an intersection and I have a third brake light flasher!

Hopefully insurance will cover enough that you can get a replacement. I know you've got enough hair to cover the scalp lacerations

Did he just slam into you from behind or did he hit you from the side? Did you get pushed into anything else?
