because of you, my lunch is cold and i have to deal with this crap

On a funny note, the car that hit me was a Dodge Durango SLT and it had to get towed because it was leaking fluids and wouldn't start haha

Damn, that sucks. How'd it happen?

Oh, that sucks! You OK? My wife has been rear-ended (yeah, yeah) twice this year already -- both times she was stopped at a red light and both times the other driver was a young woman talking on a cell phone. So I feel your pain.

That sucks, dude. SUVs FTL.

Making a right turn in one of those lanes off to the side with a yield sign. I yielded, probably shouldn't have. Dont know if she was on the phone

if you'd been driving a man's truck, you woulda been fine

I have had a resident tell me she puts her makeup on in the car because rounds are very early. That is on the highway, since our hospital is right off the exit.

I know you're joking, but not entirely fair to blame women. I have a friend that has $200+ a month cell phone bills that has been in probably three or four accidents in the last few years (male).

Tell your friend to get the unlimited cell plan for $100.

And when we do, it's still their fault.

I agree completely.

My sister totaled my old car. Talking on her phone, drove it into the back of a pick up.

I totally agree too. Many women are easily distracted with stupid shit or doing stupid shit when driving. Am I bitter? You bet. Do I have good reason to be? You bet!

As someone guilty of grabbing CDs from the backseat to play on the stereo with a free arm while driving 75MPH on 95, I will refrain from any criticism

I drive a stick shift, and don't have an earpiece for my cell. When it rings when I'm driving, I ignore it. I am guilty of futzing with the iPod while driving. That can be pretty dangerous, particularly at night.

I like to be unavailable while driving, so no cell whatsoever for me.

Justin, sorry to hear you got rear ended. hope you and the other driver are both alright as that's the most important thing.

Are men better drivers than women?

Distracted drivers pose safety hazard, according to new UNC study

80% of Car Crashes are from Driver Distractions - Mobiledia

Which worryingly means that 20% of Car Crashes are from un-distracted drivers.

yeah, driving distracted is dangerous stuff and causes a lot of accidents and as Johnny Carson would say, i did not know that.

this takes the record for worst woman driver ever (old clip)

that's some funny shit, hope she didn't get hurt.

I like number 9.

i like number 8 cause it's the only one i'd like to see how it exactly happened.

I was talking about the first number 9!

I know what you mean, I kinda think its the funniest one. How can you say you were too distracted to put your helmet on the right way!
