Ok, I really thought I had seen everything until today. I was pulling into Blockbuster to return some video's and there was a girl in an older looking oldsmobile trying to park....and she was sitting in a parking space a good two feet from the curb. I preceded to watch her run over the curb and run head on into the building!!!! Now mind you...its a concrete wall, and she wasn't going fast enough, so she really didnt damage the wall, but I know she damaged the front bumper of the car. And she looked to be younger, like maybe she just got her licence.....
Now i know its not funny...but I couldn't help laugh a little...but what can i say....its Hagerstown.

Can you guys tell i'm bored?

I saw a dumb lady drive the rear of her cavalier imto a concrete pillar (bollard) at the gas station trying to park. evidently she didn't look behind her. She then proceded to get out and look at the damage and then got back in her car, I guess she wasn;t to
concerned

DUDE
i did the same thing like a month ago
in my stepdads car.. a mistubishi mirage(already a piece of ****)
and the funny thing was it was right next to a blockbuster too

seee i was going in to park, and was impatience to creep in so i hit the accelerator to get in faster. before i knew it i was up on the curb! then i got all paniced and hit the accelerator even harder, but then i let go, but couldn't make it to the brake in time, before i hit the brick wall. i was going maybe 10mph. no damage to the wall... but my bumper and left side of the sar were pretty messed up. thank god i hit the brick wall though, about 2 feet away was the glass store front.

also between me and the wall at the time was a man talking on a cellphone. needless to say i gave him a scare. after i hit the wall he started screaming... but thankfully again i didn't hit him, or i'd be dead.

i backed up, and the grill fell out. my friend went out picked it up threw it into the car, and we sped off before they called the cops or something.

welll that was the day after i got my license.
i think i'm a lot better now, a couple months later....
i drive very carefully now, because that damage was 400 out of my pocket.

this proves that teenagers should have to be older, or have more permit time, or the test should be longer/harder.

eh it doesn't matter now that i have my license.

damn cell phones

i think i explained it in my post before

Hahaha, you sure did.......

okay, I'll admit to scaring this guy not on purpose once. My friend was walking on the curb, and I wasn't used to driving automatics, and I put it in Drive instead of Reverse, so I pushed gas and went towards him on the curb instead of backwards. Of course I played it off like I was just trying to scare him, but luckly the car didn't even hit the curb or anything, but it was close.....

...as slowly as humanly possible methinks.

does anyone actually need a FAQ on this? i bet its in the manual.......ask TheMAN!

stupidest thing i've ever seen was when i was in my friend's car and we were at a red light (he drives a crapper civic). then a nsx pulls up and there's this little punky kid in there and gives us dirty looks... so my friend starts reving his engine (as a joke) but this kid takes it seriously so when the light goes green he floors it... BUT!!! there was a parked car (past the intersection) and the kid in the nsx couldn't change lanes back in and didn't brake in time...
just goes to show that I can vouch for the teenager thing! (we were 16 back then)

nothing beats running into parked cars or those buildings, they just jump out at your sometimes haha

try backing up in a 1 ton cube van with a sliding door on one side and two little windows in the back. I backed my work van out of the construction side once and almost smaked into the rear of a parked car. They should have a special liscence to drive these things. Or maybe I should pay more attention when backing out.

MarkSpark

yeah I hear ya...I work as a summer helper at a construction site..I hate the vans..I've backed into numerous poles, fences..and nicked someones car, but didnt say anything..

JJB

ahh.... step vans... they are a real fun to drive I get to haul around a 1973 with a 3 speed manual every now and then... nothing like a 10,500lbs GVWR loaded to the gills and with a trailer to make you not want to change lanes or back up

changing lanes many times is a case of "blink blink blink" for about 2 mins, ease on over and listen for a horn <grin>... actually I am fortunate to have a chase vehicle usually and radio comm. between the two of us...

Again as everyone else has poster how do you drive straight into a wall????? I can see maybe backing into one with a van , but a wall is a pretty big thing to miss especially when it's right in front of you.... And some1 had posted a thing how teenagers should wait longer to get thier liscense, or make the test harder, I think it was KAD, but i'm too lazy to look, but anyways, I blew a stop sign on my driving test and i got my liscense..... LoL on april fools day too..
