Some people just can't drive

[cpvr]

Earlier today, I was driving with my girlfriend. We were on our way to a store and a 18 wheeler almost changed into our lane and crashed into us. I sped up and beeped my horn. I don't know what he was thinking but he also ran a red light. I'm glad I got out of harm's way pretty fast.

Have you ever had a problem like this? With bad drivers trying to screw up by not switching lanes with their turning light on or anything?

Dude, not even kidding, I think of writing this topic whenever I'm in the car.

Everyone on the road sucks in New York. I think it's rated like the number one worst drivers?

Texas drivers suck as well - well some of them. They were two major accidents last week - multiple people died because both drivers were drunk and drove on the wrong side of the road. What the heck is wrong with people? If you're drunk, why risk your life by getting into a car? I was always taught to have a designated driver if I went out and got wasted.

No kidding. I don't get it either.

I'm fairly new to driving, just got my license in November.. But I've had a small share of cases meeting bad drivers. I was once rear ended by a taxi driver lol but it wasn't that bad, my car just got a small hole and a dent while the cab's hood got misaligned XD
More recently.. Somebody tried to merge into my lane when I was literally right beside them. But my driving skills are awesome so I luckily avoided getting hit.
Now, what I first started driving.. XD I was a bad driver. I was particularily bad at seeing if anyone was oncoming when I tried to get out of a stopped/ slot lane. Had 2 'close' calls (but just more me being paniced about someone honking at me), but since then I've shaped up to be a better driver c:
Fortunately enough, I've never been in a bad accident nor came close. Besides what's mentioned above, most 'bad drivers' I've come across are people driving too slow P: (but I tend to speed.. haha shhhh)

I'll admit that I rear ended someone a few months ago because the traffic was pretty bad. The lady slammed on her breaks and I did the same. But because she had a towing hedge on the back of her Armada, my got car screwed up pretty bad. I had to pay for the radidator to get replaced and few other things.
Since you're new to driving are you on your parent's car insurance or your own?

Eee that doesn't sound very pleasant :x Sounds like what happened when I was rear ended, I was braking too fast because the car in front of me suddenly braked. Aand the cab behind wasn't paying attention XD;
I have my own car, but I'm on my parent's insurance plan. Haha I remember recently they called and tried to raise my parents rates and my dad got pretty po'd about it XD

How far back were you from the other car? Every since my last accident, I stay a lot more back than I was. More space = good so you don't get an accident because of a break-job.
Did your insurance prices go up after the accident? Since there wasn't any damage to the other car, my insurance rate stayed the same.

How much damage was done to your car though?

I came pretty close, but didn't touch the car in front. My rule is to stop when I see their tires lined up with my hood (from the perspective of the driver's seat, of course XD) My car is pretty small and low down, so this really gives me plenty of space. After the accident I was more traumatized about cars coming up behind me more than anything. But that's kinda withered away now.
I don't remember if the rates went up after the accident.. It was the cab's fault tho.
Oh, and what I was talking of before was when they tried to raise the rates because I'm an dependant XD And it spurred up an argument with my dad cause he pointed that a dependant driving a car is no different than lending a car out to a stranger to drive P: Or something like that. haha

I hate when drivers try to ride your bumper. When they do that, I speed up because I don't like cars being too close to me. Did you see the cab company or anything? or did you not have any injuries? So their insurance pay for all the repairs that your car needed, right?

Ya, that's kind of true though.
