New Year, First Post
I haven't posted anything since before the holidays for a bunch of reasons but seeing as how things have calmed down I thought I'd rant some about how much I am beginning to despise cagers. I am fucking fed up with people in cars and their lack of respect for anything or anyone else outside of their little fucking metal cocoon.
My wfie and I went on a great 4 day ride up to California wine country just before Thanksgiving. Great weather, great ride, great scenery. Being as we were north of LA and in a more rural setting, there was little traffic. All in all it was great.
So we get back home, do the turkey day gig and then the following week, November 29 I believe it was, my wife is driving home from work. It's about 6:30 at night, dark and as usual traffic is heavy. There's 3 lanes in each direction and a middle turn lane. You know, between the yellow lines where people wait to make a turn into a drive way or something. Anyway she's northbound in the lane closest to the sidewalk approaching a light. The two lanes to her left are completely stopped and she's about 100 yards from the light with about 3 cars stopped up at that light. She has a clear path.
What she didn't know was that in the two lanes to her left, two cars had stopped to let someone heading southbound make a left turn into a strip mall. The stupid bitch who made the turn didn't do the ordinary slow, peek around to see if that last lane is clear. No, she blows right through as my wife is heading up and my wife nails her in her passenger side. No warning, nothing. There's a poor guy in the driveway WAITING FOR MY WIFE TO GO BY before he makes a right hand turn to head northbound and when my wife hit her car it slides into him.
So this crazy bitch starts going insane on my wife. The wife is saying, "hey, YOU turned left in front without even looking". So this goes on and they finally exchange info.
So our insurance company says the other lady is 100% at fault, her insurance is saying my wife is at least partly to blame, her car has $6500 damage and we won't get it back until mid January. Even though she was only doing about 25 mph and was starting to brake for the light, the impact totally fucked up her back and she now has 4 bulging disks, going for her third MRI, doing therapy and who knows what else is coming up. So we're doing the lawyer thing. This is not us but it's the way it has to be.
So this is all leading up to something: Let's say my wife, or whomever, was on a BIKE. HUH?? Or how about this: The poor guy sitting in his car waiting to make that turn (who DID file a statement that my wife had no chance to stop). Let's say he's sitting in that driveway on his bike. Hmmm....my wife hits crazy bitch's car and instead of her drivers side sliding into his drivers side and causing minor damage, her car slides into his left leg. Nice picture huh?
WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH PEOPLE WHO DRIVE???? I've had it.
