Yeah :confused: Especially considering everything he said is 100% true. Drivers that don't use their blinkers while turning or changing lanes are morons and obviously incapable of processing successive, related information - like 1. lift a finger to turn on the blinker, 2. look over your shoulder to check the blind spot, 3. vary speed according to the lane you are trying to switch into and 4. ease into the lane without killing yourself and others. This is such a complicated sequence that these morons are not capable of following it so they do the next best thing, which is yank the wheel in the general direction of where they want to go :| Only monkeys would do that and IMO these drivers are nothing more than monkeys when they are in the driver's seat.

Umm, the fact that he thinks it was a sweet accident is something that makes me curious as to why he is still allowed on the road.

He's right, they learn better this way. He probably saved countless lives in the future from both these drivers by letting them learn a little lesson the hard way ;)

Haha, you learn many valuable lessons when you cruise together in big packs. Signal your intentions and always check your fscking blind spots!

The center lane IS the cruising lane you dumb twat. It's a three lane freeway. YOU DRIVE IN THE CENTER LANE DUMBASS.

Right lane = for merging
Center lane = for CRUISING
Left lane = for PASSING

If anyone "caused" this accident, it was the idiot who passed me on the right and then came over. Of course, let's not forget the whole blinker thing...

Tool.

So I'm in the cruising lane (that's the middle lane for you idiots who think all the lanes are the same) and notice a couple cars behind me just weaving in and out of traffic (though not competing with each other) without signaling. Whatever. I'm a stationary object as far as they're concerned so no big deal. Anyway, one car passes me on the left while the other car passes by me on the right. They both settle at a speed about +5MPH of my speed. One car is ahead of me in the fast lane, the other is ahead of me in the merge lane.

Now the fun part...

TOTALLY UNAWARE of their surroundings - especially each other - they both slowly drift into my lane right in front of me. I'm thinking "SWEET! Front row seats!" as they both enter the cruising lane and COLLIDE.

Now what did we learn, kids?

USE YOU STUPID FSCKING BLINKERS!!!! LOOK FOR OTHERS USING THEIR STUPID FSCKING BLINKERS!!!!

I see stuff like this *almost* happen just about every day, but this is the first time it actually resulted in an accident. It was a minor accident - no one was hurt - they just scared the living piss out of each other I'm sure.

Sorry, I don't know the demographics of the cars' occupants, though I can only assume that one car was full of wiggers and the other was full of soccer moms.

You see, kids, the problem with not using your blinkers is that when you start drifting all over the goddamn road, no one knows WTF you're doing. You're unpredictable. When two of you idiots occupy the same general space on the road, you have a recipe for disaster. Because not only do you twats not like to use blinkers, you also think that it's "girly" to look around you before you just drift from lane to lane with no warning to other drivers.

I know some of you think that you're asserting yourself as the Alpha Male on the road by making a statement that you can take whatever lane you please, whenever you please, with no prior warning to anyone. I know that others are simply brain dead behind the wheel. Your lame excuses are irrelevant. You're a liability to yourself and everyone around you.

Learn how to drive or don't.


The issue here isn't about using blinkers b/c even if they did, they'd probably still collide with each other. Sounds to me like they just didn't look where they were going.

And you sure like to call everybody idiots/stupid which makes you sound immature, thus you should stop saying "kids" in your statements b/c you sure sound like one yourself.

A car accident is NEVER sweet!

I think it's sad that you would think two people getting into an accident is "sweet". What if thier accident caused a bigger accident in which innocent people got hurt, including yourself.

What would have been "sweet" is if you honked your horn in hopes of grabbing one of the drivers attention.

I think he's saying its sweet because in a sense it was the perfect accident: no injuries, minor damanges, but two assclowns hoepfully learn a lesson about signal usage and being mindful that there are other cars and drivers they have to share the road with.

That was exactly my point. I've learned a few VERY valuable lessons on the road; lessons that could have been much, much worse. Had someone just honked at me and woke me up from my own little world, it certainly would not have been memorable at all. It's not like I think back to those situations and wish there was just a honk instead of what actually happened. I'm grateful that I learned those lessons without getting hurt.

Well, first and foremost, I know how to operate a motor vehicle safely.

If you don't see the value in what happened, there's nothing I can do to make you understand. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Exactly. This is real life people, not a passive aggresive ATOT world where you can watch something and do nothing about it so you can then later post about it and have others compliment you on your rant. Some of you guys need to wake up and see reality.

Sometimes the only way one learnbs is through lifes painful lessons.
In this case, there are now 2 more people in the world who will check their blind spots from now on before merging.
And its better they learn it by play bump'n go with another car instead of with a guy on a bike.

Yep, and one of those lessons is going to be so memorable that you'll be dead.

Immature kid.

Yeah, he was happy to see them get into an accident. :confused:

It's called "suspenseful storytelling". Jeez.

You're the idiot here. It's called a three lane highway, not a two lane with a passing lane in the middle. left lane is for the fast guys/passing, middle for everyone else, and right for merging on/off and the completely slow fscks who are too scared to be in the middle lane so instead they take their chances with all the blind people merging.

So you are the idiot that sticks to the right lane not letting anybody merge in to the highway. And passing is what the left lane is for. I always stick to left-1 lane at speed limit + 4. Anybody that wants to go faster can go around me. I don't use the right lane unless I am exiting the highway (or if it is a 2-lane highway).
Bingo

There's nothing to understand, those people who were driving like that will most likely continue to drive like that, as it's all about attitude, and a simple fender bender isn't going to do much to shock them.

And, do you have some magical powers or something? Because how could you know that one wouldn't over compensate from the collision and skid out into other cars or even worse flip etc, sorry you are as unsafe on the road as they are.

I don't understand your reasoning.

What happened is perhaps the best possible outcome. A minor accident, no injuries, and two more drivers will hopefully use their blinkers and side-view mirrors before shifting lanes.

So what's your problem?

I don't wish harm on anyone...

...but sheet metal damage to the fender, both doors, and quarter panel would probably be the sweetest: They have the choice between spending hundreds to fix a purely cosmetic problem or driving around with damage that will always be asked about.

Guy Dang bro, what happened?
Accident Guy I'm too cool to use my signal or look over my shoulder....and I'm willing to endanger other people's lives zigzagging through traffic in order to get where I'm going 30 seconds faster

Awesome! I love when idiots like that get into accidents. It just sucks when they hurt innocent people. But since no one got hurt and they were the only ones who sustained damage to their cars ->:thumbsup:
