Why snow and teen drivers don't get along

crankybait · 02-13-07, 10:42 PM

OK... so driving down to the A and P thru the tremendous hail. I tell dad, turn around. Begin turning, and KABOOM!!! highschooler with a SUV who said she was too shocked to do anything... Nailed us right in the back. Now, I understand that teens can be responsible... but seriously, in these conditions? the ice actually froze onto the car!!!

And the damage:

They messed with my stickers...

GRR you think they'd be smart... nobody drive in bad weather unless you absolutely need to
PS- we are safe.

wow cranky, that sucks! Very glad that you were safe though... Maybe she will learn her lesson!

JB · 02-14-07, 07:47 AM

wreck

haha thanks. Yeah, the driver really got it. Her dad FLIPPED on her... its a shame I didn't understand chinese...

skeeter944 · 02-14-07, 08:29 AM

wow,i am glad yall didnt get hurt.

JB · 02-14-07, 08:42 AM

when its icey like today you have to really slow down and keep a much bigger distance from you and the guy ahead of ya....its bad when you try to stop going downhill....did the cops ticket the other driver that hit you cranky?

crankybait · 02-14-07, 08:50 AM

well, No, apparently not. We may file claims if dad's back gets worse. They really don't want the insurance companies involved in this.

JB · 02-14-07, 08:57 AM

well thats a no brainer, ya need a police report to turn into thier insurance and let THEM pay for it.

PowerBass · 02-14-07, 10:20 AM

Hey cranky,
why did you go to the AP in those conditions? Remember dont go out unless you have to? I am a teen driver, but responsible. People go way to damn fast in these conditions. Slow it down, take 20 minutes or more extra time, and crwl in 4 wd.

crankybait · 02-14-07, 10:23 AM

We had to get a cake for today (V-day). AP is only 5 minutes away haha, and we figured we could make it. We were going at a slow pace, the other car wasn't... genius drivers, eh?

flbassman · 02-14-07, 04:44 PM

Ap???? Must be a northern thing.....I'm glad both of y'all are alright, and I hope your dad heals up.

Christopherkeene9 · 02-14-07, 04:53 PM

Sorry to here this but Looks like the Dolphin on the bumper survived

HOG Ranger · 02-14-07, 07:34 PM

I would make her replace your Hawg Sauce sticker!

crankybait · 02-14-07, 07:37 PM

Yeah, I gotta get the bumper stickers replaced. The dolphin, if you notice, has the top of the tail chopped off. The Hawg Sauce got msot of the hit.

zooker · 02-14-07, 08:04 PM

aww gee dat all a lil scratch on da fender??.. you know it is going to suck when the brake pedel you have BOTH feet on pushes you to standing position just before the air bag goes poof..been here more than i want to be..

after a wreck you WILL be driving /fishing or something else and you WILL "see" the moment of the wreck in your mind-flashback-.. first time it happened to me -i was driving down the road-i nearly went off the road..
