Basically, I was hit during a left turn in an intersection by a truck in oncoming traffic, and apparently, it's automatically my fault, even though I checked for two full seconds before I made the turn, and the girl was gunning it down the road. I mean, I was hit on the front right corner of my car, I was barely starting to move, and she hit me so hard that my car was facing backwards by the time the car stopped.
I have no witnesses, and speaking to a friend of mine who handles these types of things for insurance, I practically have no chance of winning, even if I took it to court. I was cited for not giving the right of way, and she was scot free.
This basically means that I'll have to pay for all the damage, even though it's her fvcking fault she hit me.
Fvcking ridiculous.
EDIT: Oh, by the way, after we took all this, the police car came, towed it away, etc., the fvcking bitch starts complaining about neck and back pains too.
How the hell is this not your fault? I don't understand. You misjudged traffic, and moved out to cross trafic when you shouldn't have.
You said there was a hill 100 yards away right? There is no way there was a blind hill 100 yards from a stop light. IIRC the minimum is well over 500. But lets assume you are a good judge of distance (which obviously you are not, but hey.) Lets do some math. The maximum grade is 6% for intersections. Assuming this was a real small truck, lets say 6' tall. At maximum grade, the oncoming car would have been visible for 400 feet by your own admission.
At 40 MPH , it would have taken the oncoming car just over 8 seconds to go from that hill to the intersection. 8 seconds is forever. You could get out of your truck, and run across the intersection in 8 seconds
At 80 MPH (double a normal speed limit), it would have taken just over 4 seconds for the truck to get to you. 4 seconds would be a break in traffic of nearly 200 feet at 40 mph. 200 feet! Even at 80, you could have made the turn with room to spare.
At 160 MPH, You would have had about 1.6 seconds to get out of the intersection. Normal reaction is about 1/2 a second, so that would have given you 1.1 seconds to accelerate into the intersection. In a normal car, this would be about 10 feet, so you would have gotten nailed in the passenger door, not the front corner.
Conclusions:
The other driver was doing well over 160 MPH, and is employed by the Earnhardt family. (I doubt it, you would be dead and I wouldn't have had to bust out my slide rule.)
Or
You can not judge distance, and after your post here, should never be allowed within 100 feet of another car. The only problem is we would have to give you a tape measure so you know what 100 feet is.

I think we both caught him with the second account, although you called him out on it. Well done. :beer:

hahahahahha wow.
after reading that one about Nik, i would DEFINITELY have to vote for that guy. that is owned at its finest. that basically should be the definition of being owned. infact, we should create a new term called "Nikked" in place of owned it is such a great example of it.
and i dont think waynetek got owned by any means, he is just an uber geek who has abvolutely no game.
