I got hit last year by a moron driving on the wrong side of the road, I'm
with Darin though, I didn't swerve, my thought on it is "If you want to buy
it... nail it" I have swerve I don't know how many times for idiots on my
side of the road and either did damage to my own vehicle or barely missed
the son of a b*&^%$. I finally got over the defensive driving and drive
offensive. If someone is on my side of the road, I slow down and keep
truckin'. there are many other varibles. But sometimes you cann't help but
try to miss all the other idiots out there (drunk drivers, I hate them, if I
ever catch one of you guys driving drunk I don't care how big you are I'll
rip you out of your car and kick your a** I don't know how many I have
reported when I have a cell phone handy or if I'm in the truck I turn to
channel 9 and let it be known to the authorities). And yes I do were my
seatbelt at all times, I got my leg broke when I was 11 in a car accident
because I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and I won't go anywhere in a car without
one.
