I don't care if you care or not, but I'm posting this anyway.

Someone just drove into my brother's car, knocking it onto the pavement (sidewalk for US guys). Two of the wheels flew off and glass went everywhere. The guy that did it ran off into someone's garden (yard). Somebody called the police. They arrived, found the guy hiding in the garden and arrested him on suspicion of drunk-driving.

No one was hurt as far as I know, and my brother wasn't in his car at the time; it was just parked at the side of the road. Epic stuff, but I feel so bad for my brother. He has had absolutely no luck with cars. It was broken into not long ago as well.

I'm not sure how that works where you live, but here in the US, the guy would have to pay for any damages. Last year a wooden pallet (or whatever you call those things) flew up in the air and hit my dad's truck as he was in it. The idiot who didn't tie his pallet down had to pay not only for the repairs to my dad's truck, but also for a rental car while it was in the shop being repaired. It was an inconvenience, but everything turned out alright.

Crashes are not fun for me, that was the cause for my last meltdown.

Good thing no one was hurt.

My car was backed into a while ago and I had to get it fixed. Pain in the butt, but it is part of having a car.

That reminds me: yesterday I was in a class, and we were talking about near death experiences.

This one guy said he was saved by wearing his seatbelt....he would've died without it.

Point is: wear your seatbelt, and lucky to be alive.

You don`t drive wherever u live yet do u??

Car accidents would give me the biggest panic attack of my life considering I`m scared to even get in a car to begin with! I have to sometimes but it`s not easy! don`t even like to sit in the front seat! So I don`t, and if the accident was bad enough I would be safer anyway.
