airbags hurt- but they save lives...they saved mine and my wifes.

would the accident have been as bad if you weren't following them so closely?

that happend to me and my buddy one night in his 25th anniversery camero z28........ but at a train crossing.... in the rain...... the sad thing was the poles that come down to block ur path... well they had just lit up and wernt even on the way down and the dumb chick infront of us paniked and slammed on her brakes......... the camero was destroyed..... sad day..

why was ur buddy driving that close, going fast enough to destroy a car when about to go over a train track? sounds like he didnt care much about his car anyway....

sorry to hear about ur accident OP....never been in an accident myself**knocks on wood**

you clearly have no idea how easy it is to total a car.

i was going less than 15 mph and i slid down a hill into a tree and i totaled my explorer. its really not that hard to total a car.

it also has nothing to do with how close ur following someone in some cases. think about it this way, i stopped cuz someone was taking a left hand turn into a richdale, the girl behind me had plenty of room to stop, she just wasnt paying attention = accident

heres a thought, PAY ATTENTION WHILE OPERATING YOUR THOUSAND POUND PIECE OF METAL!!! and, im sure before you started sliding you were only going 15mph but a couple thousand pound explorer sliding down a hill isnt going to stay at 15 mph....when you hit the tree the car was probably going faster than that.

you were driving 15 mph and you lost control of your car? either you are the worst driver in history or you had completely bald tires.....unless there was ice, or very very very loose gravel i dont understand how you did that while only going 15.....

Sorry to hear about that man. It almost sounds like the other car set you up. How would they know you were speeding? I hope they are investigated for your sake.

Yeah, I'm starting to think the same thing. To tell you the truth, I don't even remember seeing a car in front of her. She told me that she tried to avoid hitting the car in front and also told me that she got all his info. She even told me that the guy in the other vehicle said that he would be a witness. Apparently to them, I was speeding. But I don't remember seeing this other vehicle nor that guy. I didn't click when she told me this right away. I wasn't all their in the head after that wreck. But thank god the paramedics told her off. I guess they just found it a bit fishy as well. lol
