Nissan 370Z-Dumb A$$ magnet

I don't understand why some people think I could have been at fault. This is my first accident behind the wheel in 32 years of driving. I said I might have been able to stop but in the milliseconds of time to make my decision I choose otherwise. I did call the cops and she got three tickets blah blah blah.

This is a tough crowd.

I'm surprised she didn't get arrested? Maybe they're a little more easy going in Texas but up here she would have been in handcuffs. I don't think you were at fault at all, you did what you could to avoid a collision, slamming on the brakes isn't always the best choice.

Only citizens get arrested. All others have all sorts of civil rights (besides.. can't upset the minority voters)

Yes, tough crowd. I don't really disagree though. When you see a car where it isn't supposed to be, and it's in your way, you slow down. Maybe you couldn't stop (these cars have pretty nice brakes...), but it still would have been the right thing.

Honestly, what part of that other car's story screamed out that they're predictable and intelligent? U-turn on a 4 lane busy street at night over the crest of a hill... My first thought is to keep my car as far away from theirs as possible, because they're attempting to win a Darwin Award.

Tough crowd, no not really. I've read way worse than what I've read here, in other treads! Every one pretty much gets along, it's a good forum!

I based my judgment on your post, due to an over pass I use daily. It's "blind going up both sides", you can not see what is on the other side due to the angle of climb! "Go to fast, you'll meet new people", not a nice way too meet some one!
