wanted to share a story
 

This just happened, I wasn't gonna post it but i'm bored and so are you guys for reading this so why not. I live atop a steep hill (miller road for anyone familiar with Mahwah) and i was cruising up it at legal speeds because it is hilly and a car pulling out of a driveway could kill you. anyway, i'm driving up the road and i notice something funny in the distance, a tree was down. so like the good citizen i call the cops and tell him its in a very dangerous area because it is right past a little dip and a speeder could hit it. he advises me to get out of there and that a cop is en route so i put on my hazards get out of my car and begin to move some debris so i could go around it. so of course a SUV comes flying down teh hill, i jump in front of the tree and wave my hands frantically, no dice. this guy is hauling ass down at the fallen tree and my car (camaro) is right behind it. he doesn't even slow down so i dive out of the road and my man slams this log at maybe 60mph with his Nissan Murano. i get up and notice his car is filled with white powder, airbags deployed and his wife is in pain but not enough for a ambulance. i ask him why he didn't slow down and he said my headlights were blinding him and that he wasn't looking straight ahead. he admits to speeding but he usually doesn't speed on this road. i tell him the cops are already on teh way and begin inspecting my car, miraculously, nothing i could see in teh dark. the log swung in a way that it just missed my car. anyways the cop shows up, asks me if i struck the thing and sends me on my merry way. i was quite shooken up to say the least but i sure am thankful my car faired better than his.

cliff notes:

tree fell on a hill.
i pulled over ot move debris so i could go around it
car flies down hill and hits tree after i try to stop him
guys car gets messed up, mine comes out unscathed
old people drive like idiots and people with sports cars are responsible
the end

Good read. Stupid SUV drivers.

Damn dude, glad you're alright. That hill is insane

i used to work on the fire trucks in mahwah. i dont know how anyone can drive even the speed limit on some of the roads.

hey man good to see someone does the right thing...i would sau 98% of the rest of the american population would drive around it and be like: that would suck if someone hit that

my whore ex girlfriend lives in mahwah

knipps? ;)

:rollseye:

At the moment I live in Boston :moon:

glad you and the car is ok!

this just shows how dumb people are..

honestly, if you've ever seen the hill it's nigh impossible to not speed going down it

nah her name was rachel :moon: :-P

honestly, i don't. my friend used to live on that hill and i know how hard it is to back out of his driveway with people speeding up and down it. thats why i take it easy on hills like that.

pics?

:rofl:

i am glad to hear that someone else stops to do the right thing. i try as much as i can to secure recycling and sometimes garbage cans that are blowing around in the road. it just isn't safe. i saw a guy absolutely crush a plastic chair that some kids put in the middle of the road. i picked up the pieces. its really not cool.

You would be surprised how many people out there driving around like zombies with who knows what type of problems. Be careful out there. :nod:

crazy story! glad you and the car are ok

Ok MOST SUV drivers around me are lesser in the brain power department than most, not saying ALL SUV drivers are. Sorry.

i wonder if it was towed to pinebelt nissan where i work in keyport that would be good for some nice pics will have to look for it
