Its amazing how fast a day can go from great to complete stuff in a matter of seconds from one mistake.
Today at about 1:30 I was driving to a friends. I went to pull out of a parking lot onto a known busy road. Some dumbass driver managed to park his car right next to the road to pull out. This created a nice blind spot for everyone pulling out. I waited for a good amount of time, did my best to check if it was clear and pulled out. Upon pulling out I ended up staring directly at a speeding car about 2 feet away from my car. It was an extremely hard collision. The other driver attempted to swerve but couldn't. He clipped my front end and it sent him up on 2 wheels. The impact was so hard the other driver back windshield flew out of it socket, slid across the road, and smashed on the curb.
The other drivers car was confirmed totaled on the spot. I did not get a picture but both doors on the side were completely punched in. We are getting an estimate for my car tomorrow. My car was driveable but when you drive it you can smell the engine heating up. My passenger side door is also stuck closed.
Nobody was really hurt on scene, just shook up. But now that I am sitting here I am beginning to feel neck and head pains which are starting to worry me a bit. I personally blame the entire thing on the driver who parked next to that entrance. Everyone agreed, including the cop, that you should not be able to park there. And once that the driver heard the police were coming he moved his car. starfish.
Now that everything has calmed down a col reality has set in for me. If the other driver would not have swerved they would have hit my driver side door going about 50 mph. I could be in the hospital right now or worse.
On Scene:
(Take a look at the silver van near the upper-middle of the picture, that is the loving idiot who parked like a moron.)
At home:
