ShadowDefender Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Driving can be described as multiple things: Essential, an art, a science, difficult. However, there is one word that doesn't come to mind until some form of damage has been done. And that would be Destructive. About a week and a half ago, I was sitting at a red light, waiting for it to change, when some asshole, going about 60-70mph(96-112kph for international peeps) rear ends my moms(not even my vehicle) buick, completely totaling it. Besides the obvious emotional trauma, I have two slipped disks in my lower back, as well as four broken vertebrae in my upper back. Every single movement I make hurts like the burning fires of hell running rampage through my nerves throughout my body. This is more than likely going to impact the rest of my life. While the damage is pretty immense, it could be worse, I could be dead. And that very nearly happened. So, I am grateful that I had a guardian angel looking over me during that ordeal. Time will(hopefully) heal these wounds, however I don't think I will be driving for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bagel Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I just got my learners permit yesterday and these are the kind of things that really make me mad. My sympathy to you, some people just need to learn to either pay attention or learn to slow the f down.

Deleted User Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Good luck with recovery man. If you ever need someone to talk to during a down day I'm here man. I am in no means trying to blame the victim so don't interpret it as such because the other driver is 110% at fault BUT ALWAYS keep an eye out for stupid people on the road. You have to be aware to all possibilities at all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red'sCharizard Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 There's always that one driver... You have my condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzam Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Holy Shit man! Sorry for the cussing. It's just...this kind of shit can happen to anyone, but once it happens to someone you know... That's a whole different story. I hope for the quickest of recoveries and the quickest of punishments for the jerk who Total'd you. How can someone so stupid like him be trusted with a car? I can imagine what was going though his mind. "I'm drunk/High/I want it to end." People like that should not be allowed on the road...but...there's no way to spot those people out...until it's too late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDefender Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Thank you everyone! Good luck with recovery man. If you ever need someone to talk to during a down day I'm here man. I am in no means trying to blame the victim so don't interpret it as such because the other driver is 110% at fault BUT ALWAYS keep an eye out for stupid people on the road. You have to be aware to all possibilities at all time. I did see him in enough time, however I was in a position where I couldn't do anything but prepare for the impact. It was a two-lane county road, with two cars in front of me, with three cars passing in the other lane, I didn't have enough time to move out of the way, so I just prepared for the impact from his F350.

Skullkin Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well, this certainly hasn't helped with my fear of driving. Get well soon Shadow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raviel the Phantom Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I hope you heal quickly and make a full recovery. It is ashame to hear this, because I'm all too familiar with this scenario. Two of my family members, on two seperate occasions, have experienced this exact situation. And I hope that guy/girl who did this to you is paying for what he did.
