[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: I have been rearended twice in the last three years. The rushed, selfish drivers in DC are just so aggravating. And being a parent is no excuse. My kid played a competitive sport at a national level and I drove them one hour each way three nights a week after a long day at work, for several years. I never rear-ended anybody. Yes, it's an accident, but having been rearended twice in three years by people like you who seem to think that being harried is an excuse, is just extremely frustrating. Do you know how much time that guy is going to have to take out of his life to get his car looked at? I had one guy run into me after I had just come to a stop at a stop sign and because my car was 8 years old and had a little ding in the bumper already, assumed I didn't have to get it fixed and seemed very taken aback that I was a little annoyed at having to stop, exchange information, etc. My car needed the entire bumper replaced, despite just what the driver saw as a couple scratches. It was a huge pain. Please stop acting like that guy did something wrong just because his car was old. You were harried and careless and he doesn't deserve that. [/quote]

My father drove a limo 70,000 miles a year on average for 25 years. He never had a single accident, moving violation or parking ticket. He was very big on leaving space between car in front to move out of way and constantly looking in rearview mirror. and left to right He would be the guy driving between groups of cars. He always say you are only as good a driver as the other drivers around you and the condition of their brakes and tires so be alert to all the other drivers.

I recall he point out teen drivers, older beat up cars, distracted drivers. And he did not have radio on or talked much at all when driving. He pay attending. He drove almost two million miles. I recall he buy a new car every two years. And his cars with 140,000 miles look brand new. None had ever gotten a scratch,

If you had two accidents in three years it is partially you. I recall my dad even know what roads not to take and what to take.              [/quote]
