fenderbender yesterday
 

I was on my way home from work on the parkway going north, and i was coming up on my exit, i think its 168, it goes into washington township. so there was a ford taurus infront of me, i saw her brake lights go out and she started to move, so i thought she left. I turned my head to see if there were anymore cars comming, there werent, so i started to go, and as im moving, i turn my head and the taurus was still there and didnt move. i hit the right side of my front bumper and fender into the rear of her left bumper. she got a dent, and i got this...


incase you dont know about the exit, the police who responded sait they get "10-16" calls a day about accidents at that exit

tuff break on the crash man. but 10-16 calls a day i'm not buying that. thats like 3500-5500 calls a year. c'mon somones fibbin :lol:

I did that once. I'll never move forward when looking backwards again :lol: luckily the girl I hit was cool and in a hurry so no cops were called. not really any damage either. I was in my Jeep tho

Like bill said, tough break.. 10-16 calls/day means the damn exit would be tied up 16 hours a day! maybe 10-16 calls/week, and even thats pushing it, but possible.

ok i cant stand people that move up and then all of a sudden realize that nah they dont wanna go anymore

i was just quoting wat the female officer said wen she was talking to us, i didnt believe it either, but she said that they get calls like that frequently in the mornings and durring rush hour, we looked at her like she had 2 heads after she said that, and then she said that since it was the off ramp, we had for a state trooper to come by and do the report, i wasnt too thrilled with that, but ii had the patience

its just a stupid exit, you have a major blindspot, because the exit splits for people making a left, and your vision is blocked by their car, unfortunately something like wont get fixed until someone dies there trying to merge

so drive your trans am....

I'm always afraid of this situation.
Hope it works out for you.

shouldnt be moving forward while not looking.....sucks man....looks fixable easily. at least it was just a turd gen :wink:

this.

Sucks man, but I do know the spot your talking about, its a bad merger area.

:moon: don't be a douche :rofl:

i know that exit that he is talkin about, yeah its accident prone, alot. lol

i do wen i get home from work, i just cant lock it of i go somewhere, i lost the keys, then found the ignition key, still cant find the door keys so i had to break into it the other day

i actually baught a 355 for it the day before it happened too, lol

im sure someone has a black fender for sale on here,
that and a little rubbing compound on the bumper and itll be better.

pull a door lock out and take it to a locksmith or buy new door locks

they are able to use the glove box lock for it. Thats what they did with my SOM
