On my way to drop off a buddy after playing golf... This broad smashes into the back of my truck while in line at an intersection (red light)... Thank god for steel bumpers... It was a pretty serious impact... But you can hardly tell my truck was hit.. Her Honda Civic on the other hand.... OUCH... The whole front end was caved in... Trailer hitch made an actual hole in her hood.
Everyone was okay (most important thing). The lady said she, "fell asleep." Keep in mind that this happened at 1:15 in the afternoon.
I couldn't help but think what the event would have been like had I been on my bike... I was rear-ended once on my Yamaharley cruiser... Much less severe impact... I can only imagine what this one would have been like... The thought of it kind of pissed me off... It was an accident... And accidents do happen... But if she was really THAT tired.... Maybe take a nap before driving?
Glad everyone is okay.
I have someone in my life who runs 'sleep deprived', and I wonder how many more are out there driving like her too [&:]... makes ya think.
OH...Thank God. I saw the thread title, and was afraid you were in your Nighty and got rear ended.....LOL
Almost happened to me today, on my bike. School zone on a road with 45 mph speed limit. Chick didn't see the flashing lights, or me, slowing down to 15 mph, but all worked out well.
Those Civics don't hold up well to a trailer hitch. I had a girl hit me from the rear in my Jeep Wrangler a couple of years ago. According to the police report, she knocked me 21 feet. Not a scratch on my Jeep....the Civic.......TRASHED.

People are getting dumber...
I just had a "lady" t-bone my van. She pulled the "I didn't see you when I ran that stop sign" ****. Really? You didn't see a FULL SIZED VAN?!?!?!?! Not a minivan, not an SUV, not a pick up, a 19 foot long, 6 or 7 foot tall, 7 or 8 foot wide BOX in front of you?
Knocked off my running board... I tore her front bumper and headlight (my rear tire ran right on onto her bumper and pushed it down)
By the way, if any of you uses Geico, kick yourself in the nuts for me. That's the WORST insurance company I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
