crumple zones left the driver side virtually intact, i think he told us one time. Thats why i was asking if he sent a letter to ford to say thanks for making a safe car.
My mom and sis were in an accident, the car was totaled, but thanks to crumple zones and safety features, they were unhurt save for whiplash and bruises. My mom wrote a letter to Dodge saying thankx for making a safe car and she got something back, i forget what it was. |

Montana rocks....
...It was a bummer they brought the "speed limit" back, oh, 5 years ago or so...but really people were driving too fast for conditions and 70 on the highways is a good speed. (75 on the interstate)...you have to realize most of the area is barren and traffic is light...getting from place to place takes a long time...it's 660 miles across the state east to west... "blind corners" are few and far between....but there are a fair number in the mountains...
70 might be the limit but you have to use common sense...simple as that. And if you get into an accident based on conditions (i.e. a 'blind corner') then there is no one to fault but yourself...but I don't know the story..I'm sure if it was me, I'd be why the hell the guy was just sitting there...
I wouldn't say we get mad for people driving below 70...unless they are tourists on the open road...then we do :)
Where did you have your crack up...I probably know where it is...especially if you were on Highway 93...(the 70mph road in dem parts) |

Hope you are doing ok. Maybe they'll widen that road now too? Did it happen on the eastside?
Take care |

I got in a car accident on my way to school this morning.
I was coming around a blind corner and this car was stopped on the other end of it. I tried 2 stop but couldnt stop in time, slammed into them at about 50 mph. They had a suburu outback, and it only got a few scratches, I have a tow bar on the front of my car and it got jammed into my front bumper.
The bumper is cracked and tow bar broken. I got a ticket and stuff.
Had to call my friend to take me to school today, my car is still drive able but i was a little 2 shooken up to drive.
The guy I hit was really nice though, i got a bloody nose, i think it broken, but other then that no injuries.
I have to go to court within the next month, what am I in for? |
wait a sec, your nose may be broken and instead of getting it checked out you're posting on here? good one... |

Oh man, I didn't even know about this. Glad you made it through ok. And at least your car wasn't totaled like mine was back in September.
As far as 'what you're in for,' I honestly don't know. I've been fortunate enough to stay out of the goddamn legal system. |

A car crash is never a nice thing, I remember last year when my mate wrote his car off on a motorway. He was pretty shaken, but luckily he wasn't hurt badly. Thankfully I've never been in the same situation and I hope never to be. :p I'm sure you'll feel better soon though, and I hope everything goes well in court.
