Got Hit Tonight! Crazy Story....
Well I had just got off my 12 hour shift at work and went straight home to put my nice rebuilt air cylinders back on my car in the rear. And after about an hour and a half of work I was good to go and wanted to go cruise to see how they worked. WELL......
I got about 5 miles from my house and I was sitting at a red light when all of a sudden I see this truck behind me start shaking and then before I knew it my car was hit. A guy in an altima had had a seizure while driving and blacked out, he hit the truck and then hit me in the rear right side, scratched my rim and did some body damage(paint damage as well, duh). So I moved out of his way and his car proceeded across 4 lanes of traffic into a restaurant parking lot where it took out a Toyota Camry, a Jeep Cherokee, and a Honda Accord. I pulled over and had to help try to hold the guy down in his car as he continued to have the seizure the whole time right up to the point that the ambulance got there. Needless to say I was disappointed about my car, but I couldn't be too mad, it wasn't like the guy meant for it too happen. So I guess I am one step closer to my custom paint job!

More than likely, he is fully aware of his condition but refuses to relinquish his driving priviledges and in so doing, risks the safety of the public. It is possible that this case is different, but there are definitely unfit drivers out there--whether it be the elderly, people with epilepsy, fainting spells, and the worst of them all, women.

My understanding...
My understanding of the situation last night from the police is that his insurance will have to cover all of the damages that he caused. Sucks to be his insurance adjuster. At least he had insurance so I want have to put it on my insurance record, but if it were to fall through with his insurance I do have full coverage so OH WELL. Time to go to the paint shop.

Insurance estimate...
Well the guys insurance agent came to my work today and looked at the car and did his evaluation. It is with progressive and they have a way of computing damage amounts on spot, and he gave me a rough estimate of about $1200.00. I personally think that is low, I think that is should be somewhere in the neighborhood of $1800. But we'll see, I am taking the car to my painter tomorrow to get an estimate from him and then I won't see my max for a little while!

Yet from a very limited amount of information, you've decided to take away the licenses from several groups of people, even deciding who is worse than the other. That's amazing, even 1-800-MISS-CLEO couldn't do that!

As for the elderly, they are major road hazards. Many of our seniors today lack the physical capability or mental faculty to operate a motor vehicle. Muscle strength deteriorates. Reaction times go up the whah zoo. Vision and hearing are marginal. That is not to say we should set age limits. We must enact driving re-tests every 5 years above age 60. Unfortunately AARP is a major political force and has threatened to crucify any politition who would even suggest such a regulation. Personally, I don't mind the ol' folk driving slow... At least they are trying to drive within their means. however, they are constantly cruising over the line into other lanes and scaring the schits outta me.
