Lots of calming purrs and prayers for you. Other drivers try to intimidate
women drivers especially if its their (the other driver's) fault. Good thing
you stood your ground, but I don't blame you for being a bit apprehensive.

Thanks guys. I do think he was trying it on to intimidate me into giving up on
getting his details. He picked the wrong woman for that one ;-)

Cheers, helen s

Last night I was driving Herman and whilst stationary at a junction where

I was
waiting for a gap in traffic to turn left on to the main road. Fool in

Audi
came up behind. He then drove straight into the rear of my car... Said

fool in
Audi said it was my fault that he drove into the back of my car as my car

was
stationary... Said fool refused to exchange details snip

for
my own safety due to the aggressive manner of the Audi fool. So I phoned

the
police and gave the registration mumber of the Audi. It took that to get

the
guy to give me his details. Obviously he's never read the Highway Code as
regards leaving space between you & the vehicle in front.


Grr! I hate jerks who can't admit fault. I mean, I've done dumb things in
traffic too, but while I am legally not supposed to apologise, if its my
fault (or mostly my fault) I try to let the other driver know that I know
its my fault (if that makes sense).

Lots of calming purrs to you. Hope he gets charged with neg driving and not
giving details as well as having to pay your insurance.

I remember one time I came out of a shopping centre to see three big guys
around a sooped-up "doof doof car" (if you have any stereotypes about how
they looked, youa re probably right) which was parked next to my car. I
drove a "girls car" (ie, a hatchback) and immediately sensed trouble, so I
hurried to get into my car and get going.

I didn't make it, and they accused my of marking the doof doof car with my
door.

But they weren't real smart, and they picke dont he wrong person that day.
First of all, I asked them where my passenger was, since if it was my car at
fault, it would have been my passenger door.

Apprantly the saw my "friend" get out.

I was travelling alone...

And then they claimed that they saw "her" do it.

Well, I know that said doof doof car wasn't parked there when I pulled in
(how often do you get two parking spaces side by side in the prime spot?)

And then *showed* me the damage.

The damage was indeed pretty bad. Not only was the paint marked, but the
door actually dinged. Troublewas, since they had a black car, the colour of
the offender's paint was quite clearly red. I drove a white car.

Time for some counter bluff. As you might know, I am a paint chemist. I
don't deal with car paint, but hey, the knowledge is similar.

"Thats red paint, I drive a white car. If you do a pigment analaysis you'll
probably find its an inorganic/organic hybrid, in siliconised polyester
acrylic blend, with a UV resistant overglaze and a zinc-phosphate containing
primer. I am paint chemist, I identify such marks for a living. Using that,
and hte height of the mark, you are probably looking for a red Mazda sedan,
from July 1990 to october1995. If you really think a white, 1984 toyota
hatch could make such a mark, you'll need your own paint chemist and a court
order."

I watched as their mouths hit the floor, smiled politely, and went on my
way.

Drove around the corner, and cried my eyes out. I was scared ****less.

You go Girl!!!!!!!

DH & I call them DorkMobiles. Almost had one slide into me one winter -
they have little or no stopping power with those low-riding slick tires -
but since I drive a 4WD Jeep Wrangler, I stopped and gave said Dork a wide
berth, then calmly drove around him (going a good 5-6 feet off the road and
spitting snow & ice all over his windshield LOL all the way. I don't think
Dork drove his DorkMobile in the winter after that

I remember once when a coworker came back from work from her lunch late, and
the back end of her car was all banged up. She had stopped at a *4-WAY*
stop sign (as is the law), and some idiot (to use a usenet-friendly term)
had very blatantly slammed into the back of her, gets out of his car and
starts screaming at her for "stopping in the middle of the road for no
reason". Fortunately for her, this was within 2 blocks of the city/county
hospital, and there are *ALWAYS* cops nearby, and one happened to see the
accident. Cop calmly showed the rear-ender the *4-WAY* stop sign, then
noticed a child in the rear seat, no restraint (law is all children under a
certain age need to be in a child-safe car seat, and this one was under that
age), and the guy was cited for the accident, a non-restrained child (which
he seemed to show no interest in whether or not said child was injured
during the accident), and then *another* citation for verbally abusing said
officer. Oh, and his driver's license had previously been suspended for
DUI, so he was cited for that, too (fortunately for him, he passed a
breathalizer test, so he was not arrested). Fortunately he did have
insurance, the least allowed by the law, which covers the other
vehicles/passengers, but not yours. Friend was a bit shook up by the
accident, but no injuries, and was VERY happy that the offender that hit her
car was 1 step from being arrested

Calming purrs to you. If I remember correctly it is always the other
driver's fault if he runs into the back of you. I'm glad you weren't
injured. I got whiplash when this happened to me, and it took almost two
years to get rid of the pain. The whiplash took two days to come on,
apparently this is typical, so don't say you're not injured yet.
