Cars, Accident and Transportation: Denial

Denial

By Anonymous - 19/05/2009 06:19 - United States

Today, I was driving in my very own car that I bought and paid for myself, when I stopped at a stop light. Then I noticed the truck in front of me turn on his reverse lights. I honked desperately. He hits me, looks out the window and says, "I see no damage" and drives away. FML

Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML

Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML

Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML

Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML

Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML

Today, a stoplight dropped square into the bed of my pickup truck. The police think I was attempting to steal it, and my insurance won't cover the damage to my truck. There were no witnesses. FML

Today, I stopped at a red light. I noticed the car in front of me had the reverse lights on. I thought to myself "Meh, that person must know. They wouldn't do that." The light turned green. Turns out they didn't. Nor did they have insurance. FML

Today, while on the highway, a guy in a truck sped up to pass me. He was hauling a trailer, which hit me and ran me off the road. I called the cops and followed him all the way into town, where the cops pulled him over. They let him go without even a ticket, because, "He didn't know he hit you." FML

"...my very own car that I bought and paid for myself..." lol, someone's learned from comments on past FMLs.

#12 that's incredibly unfair. For a start, the OP was at a stop light. You're not supposed to reverse at a stop light, so the OP couldn't have reversed away from the guy in front anyway. There were probably other cars behind the OP preventing reversing anyway. Thus it is NOT the OP's fault that the guy in front reversed into them! and #19, history has a happy habit of repeating itself so quit complaining. OP: I hope your insurance works out.

This happened to me the other day, too. I backed up as much as I could and then started honking and eventually laying on my horn. The guy didn't drive away, and there really was no damage so he just gave me his card and we left it at that. If someone drove away I would have called it in to the police out of spite, even if there was no damage. Hopefully you got his plates, because if there is any damage you should go through his insurance, not yours. And yeah, sometimes on roads, there are things behind you. In the case of OP it was probably cars. In my case it was a parking lot full of people.

Hahaha! I just imagine a big Scandinavian muscle man saying that. "I see no damage." I agree with most everyone else - hope you got his license plate number!

Please please please tell me you got his licence plate number! Call him on it, even if he didn't cause any damage, it's that kind of attitude that causes bigger problems for people later on. No one that is that dumb should be driving, and if it was an accident he shouldn't have been such an arse! Hope the car is ok though!

You should have gotten his plate number, I guess. Also, saying "proceeded to" is getting old even if you did it once, doing it twice makes it even worse.

I had a brand new car for 10 days and I was PARKED in a lot with my little sisters in the car, hadn't even turned it on, because I was giving one of them a drink, and this dumbass in a huge, lifted bronco t-boned me at at least 45 mph. it scooted my car over 8 inches, inverted two doors, gave everyone concussions, and he drove away. When he came back, to pick up his brother (this was at a school) the cops were there. He said, "I did it, and I don't care." He did 1700 worth of damage to a 1900 car. I feel for you dude.
