[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone crashed into the back of my car on the beltway.  The tailpipe was laying on the ground and the guy said no need to call the cops since it’s just “cosmetic”.  Obviously I called the cops.  10 grand in damage.  His insurance paid for the repair.  I felt fine the day of the accident but the next day my neck and back were really sore.  The doctor prescribed muscle relaxants and anti-inflamitories.  Even with those, my neck and back were hurting for a full month.[/quote]

I was rear ended while at a red light by a driver going 50 (speeding) coming up over a rise who didn't see that traffic ahead had stopped.  Same reaction as you -- initially I felt nothing from the shock and by the next day I could hardly move. 20 years later and my neck still isn't the same.

I was in the back seat of a car that was rear ended while in motion by a drunk driver, spun out, and almost went off a bridge. They used the jaws of life to get me out of the car (which was terrifying). I have permanent nerve damage to my arm from that one. Neither driver was insured, nor were they driving their own cars, nor did the plates on the car match the vin number of the vehicle. Basically all the information  given to the police was wrong. The drunk driver was arrested obviously.

I know a child who was thrown from a vehicle and killed. I know a man who was paralyzed from the neck down in what looked from the car to be a minor accident -- barely a dent on the vehicle.

I'm very risk averse when it comes to cars and driving.[/quote]
