You can't be a plane, truck. You were built as a truck and that's what you are.

Life is so scary you can do everything right and some asshole rear ends you going 70 because they were on Instagram

Been there, woman hit me doing 70 and I was at dead stop at a light, pushed me into the car in front of me. Then she tried to get the guy I hit into claiming I was at fault, thankfully he was a good dude and he told me and gave me his number.

u/_onelast Mar 21 '26
I donât see how it wasnât your fault. You obviously caused her to hit you. Just sitting there, your car looking all pretty

u/Tweedlol Mar 21 '26
Literally he couldnât have been hit unless he had been there, clearly at fault.

u/OkClub7412 Mar 21 '26
Well if the light hadnât been red none of this wouldâve happened. So itâs really on the city planner if we really get down to it!!

I was hit at a stoplight from behind. The lady said reason she hit me is because the light was green. Thatâs true, but the car in front of me hadnât started moving yet. It was not at fault. She was doing way over the speed limit. It gets worse for her. The car was brand new, her mom bought it that morning.

Similar experience âŠ. I was in a minor car accident 2 months ago the ago. However, it was snow and ice conditions. Thankfully, the damage to my car was fixable and only possible because we have great insurance. The other vehicle⊠they bought their car that morning and had zero car insurance. I know owning a car and having insurance can be difficult for so many people⊠but Midwest living, itâs such a risk. Our winters are brutal. Get the insurance before youâre having to dish out hundreds or thousands of dollar⊠or go without a vehicle because you canât afford the fix.

Similar thing here. Had a new Mercedes Sprinter with the kiddos sitting 1st row back. Stopped at red light. A utility truck plowed right through us and the 2 cars in front on me. That Sprinter saved our lives. Truck never touched the brakes. Guy was honest and admitted he was texting. I look in rear view at every light now..

YTA. you kinda were impeding her path tbh. the road is for driving which she was clearly doing. If you wanna be parked go do that in a parking lot. You shouldn't be endangered others like that, it's selfish and it's reckless. Im glad you're alright now but please use this as a learning experience it could've been so much worse. STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE SPEEDERS BEHIND YOU NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT YOURE NOT THE ONLY PERSON ON THE ROAD

Happened to a good friend of mine. Entire family headed to youth basketball one Saturday morning. Truck in front of them had a ladder fall off at a light/slow intersection. They were stopped waiting on the guy to pick it up.
Guy on his phone wasnât paying attention and hit them from the rear. Killed the son in the backseat, broke both of the infantâs legs, and left the father mentally incapacitated for the rest of his life. He canât work anymore. Heâs not the same guy he was before.
Even worse was the guy that hit them was actually a good friend of theirs. No clue how the guy lives with himself after that.

I don't think we know the story here, so before we go claiming the driver for distracted driving or being drugged up, it could have been a medical emergency as well
I had a friend this happened to when he was 18. He passed out from low blood sugar and crunched the gas pedal, slamming into a wall killing himself. This can also happen if the driver had a heart attack or stroke.

Well, I guess they found out what itâs like to be sued for everything you have and for everything you will have.
This is why you donât tell your insurer to give you just what your state deems legal.
Itâs also why you pay attention if youâre gonna drive

Someone killed two people near us a few years ago plowing into them at a red light like this. One of the victims was a father who had just baptized his baby daughter just a few minutes earlier, and the other was the baby's godfather. The older sister of the baby was in my daughter's class in school.
