The Invisible Stop Sign

Once upon a time (Feb. 21, 2001), there was an invisible stop sign at the intersection of 19th Street and 2nd Avenue... A certain Anandtech forum user, we'll just call him "Bobtist," never stops at invisible stop signs, always choosing to run through the intersection. Well "Bobtist" was in for a surprise... A surprise in the form of a 1998 Chrysler Concord, woo!

It was a pretty blind intersection, but I still managed to skid to ALMOST a stop before I bumped him. We're both fine, and my car hasn't a scratch, but I got him right in his rear driver's side door, pretty good dent.

Funny side notes:

  • I have no collision coverage on my insurance policy, but that's fine because no damage was done to my car:)

    6 months ago, I got a speeding ticket, and was too lazy to go to traffic school to get the 3 points on my license erased. Well, running through a stop sign is 4 points, and you can't go to traffic school twice within 12 months, so yippy:). Good thing I didn't go to traffic school after my speeding ticket! Anywho, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Doh!

You're lucky that it wasn't some mean SOB in a pickup truck that you hit. He would likely have returned the favor by denting your car...with your head :eek:
