nearly totaled my car. (pics)
I posted this on facebook, but though I'd share here as well.
On my way back to work after my break, I was not even 2 minutes away from my house when the semi truck driving in front of me slammed on its brakes, while it was rainy and wet out. I slammed on my brakes and slid literally half an inch from hitting him. had I looked down for a second, or had I not been paying attention, I would have slammed into the back of him. The reason he slammed on his brakes: The kid driving the honda got out slowly holding his chest, but was ok. He started yelling fuck and kicking his car a bit.. I dont blame him. Was a pretty scary incident. I've been in an accident where I was driving before, and it wasnt bad, but this seemed a bit scarier. |

Glad to hear you're alright; definitely a close call for everyone involved.

It's good that everyone made it out okay. If I were you I'd get a drink or something. Once you get home, of course.

Re: nearly totaled my car. (pics)
Thanks guys <3. Also when I called 911 to report the accident, the operator got frustrated because I didn't know what model the Honda was, and I couldn't tell them what color it was. (i'm colorblind lol)..

That situation could have been very bad for you too. It's good you're a responsible driver though. Driving is scary as fuck because it only takes a split second to get into a mess.

Everyone's okay right? Geez that's brutal.
It also kinda looks like that honda is riding on 4 donuts. |

Re: nearly totaled my car. (pics)
Situations like these are why I'm afraid to learn to drive. I have literally zero confidence in myself and the people around me when it comes to driving. Honestly, unless you have a life-threatening or traumatizing event happen to you beforehand (I did, both fortunately and unfortunately), driving is the first time it really hits you as a teenager that I am not invincible. Really, really glad you and everyone else is okay. I really hope at least some self-confidence comes with experience and practice, because I am not even remotely willing to get into the driver's seat right now.

Glad everyone's okay. I got in my own accident about two weeks ago - rear ended the guy in front of me because of the rain and that I didnt leave enough space for the amount of traffic around. He had a trailer hitch on the back of his new f150 which went straight into my front. Knocked off the grill and broke the headlight a little bit. It's taught me to be a lot more cautious and careful.

Re: nearly totaled my car. (pics)
Driving a bike (which is far more dangerous than a car for you) for pretty much all my teens taught me how to handle traffic. I never had an accident and when i drive i'm really focused. It's just a matter of state of mind. Usually when it's wet i just stay away from other cars and travel at a speed which permits me to brake safely without losing control.

Re: nearly totaled my car. (pics)
I'm trying to figure what scenario supports how the honda wrecked into the semi at an angle causing that kind of damage haha
