Accident and Transportation: Didn't see ya there!

Didn't see ya there!

Today, I borrowed a van to move some of my furniture. I wasn't used to the brakes so when I stopped at a red light, I pretty much ended up in the crosswalk. Suddenly, I heard a loud thud at the side of the van. I turned to see what idiot would walk into a van. It was a blind man. FML

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 was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML

Today, as I was sitting in my car in a mall parking lot, an old couple got into their new van and backed right into me. The man got out and in broken english decided it was no big deal. He turned to leave and tried to pat my back, but smacked my ass instead. I was hit by a car, and spanked for it. 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

Easy mistake

Today, I parked my car on the street late at night, when I was distracted by a text message. Some guy then gets in my passenger side. Panicked, thinking I was being robbed, I bolt out of my car bruising my head and dropping my phone onto the pavement. The guy meant to get in the car behind me. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Too late

By Anonymous - 08/06/2009 13:25 - United States

Today, I was at my friend's house. It was dark and downpouring so I couldn't see as I was backing out of his driveway. I made it out, but then my phone went off, scaring me, and I accidentally hit the gas pedal, hitting his neighbor's parked car. Turns out he called to warn me to watch out for it. FML

Today, I was driving behind a UPS truck. All of a sudden his back door opens up exposing some boxes ready to fall out. Like a good driver I speed up to drive beside him to tell him. He thought I was trying to cut him off so he accelerated. A box flies out and dents my windshield. FML

With all due respect to the blind guy, why didn't he detect your van with his cane, or just hear it?

#7 How's the blind guy going to sue? Not like he took down the license plate number. HAHA. I'm going to hell for that one.

@7 Why are people saying you deserve this? It doesn't seem like anyone's fault to me. No, you're still wrong. Your excuse ain't valid, you lost the control of the vehicle, because you neglected to get used to it beforehand. You should NEVER drive a car you can't control. Get used to the controls before in safe areas, at low speed, before driving it in real traffic, you moron. Also, nothing will happen to you, so this is most likely a "f*** his life".

Gotta go with 12 here. "nothin you could do about not being used to the breaks?" Seriously? The first time you stop the thing, you should know how the brakes work. And for all of you "sympathetic" idiots, it's "brakes," not "breaks." This is entirely your fault, and you should feel horrible about hurting a blind man because of your bad driving.

You can't get used to something the first time you try it, you have to practice it and then you get used to it!! For all you know this could have been the second or third time this person drives it!! If you weren't there to know the situation, then don't judge!!

13 - the way the fml written, that COULD have been the FIRST time they stopped, which is exactly when you said they should figure this out, HENCE the fml we read. once out of the driveway the van was sitting in, the op has no choice to start driving on the road directly, not everyone has a mile long driveway to get a handle on it before they pull out on the road.

i realized the op might have to brake going out of the driveway, but i wasnt there.

I said it was their fault because they should have known the sensitivity of the breaks before hand. I don't care if they weren't used to it, you should always get comfortable with the car FIRST before taking it on the road and driving it around other people and putting their lives in danger.

where else do they go try it first? you make no sense. if its in a small driveway, theres no where else to take it BUT the road, duhhhhh. i mean not everyones a genie to wish themselves a secret underground tunnel from their driveway so they have somewhere to drive for an hour. even if they went to test it in a parking lot nearby, they would still have to drive on the road to get to the lot. come on people...

11 - You're an asshole. He can't help it if he's blind. It's like he gouged his eyes out. That's a really unfortunate turn of events. It could happen to anyone. But if the blind man knew where the crosswalk was, how could he not notice the van? I thought blind people carried canes. 3 - If there were other vehicles at the crosswalk, the blind man might not have been able to differentiate between the sound of each one, therefore, he wouldn't have known there was a van in front of him.

dude, u def should have gotten used to the breaks, seriously, you could've hurt someone else...it def was ur fault, unfortunate about the blind guy, but if there were a bunch of ppl like u driving trucks, there would be far more accidents and potentially fatalities lol...

What I want to know is why the blind man was crossing the street unaided? A walking stick is not going to tell you if a large automobile is coming your way.

This is BS, a blind person would have heard your car and lets just say he was deaf too they know how to use their canes to feel cars, it's not even funny
