Re: Have you ever been in a car crash? [Re: pirate-blues]

I was scared to drive for a while after my "crash", I'm still, years later, a more cautious driver because of it.

Now my main problem is speeding on highways, it's just so easy to do, got caught going 95 in a 60, was driving my buddies fusion, didn't even realize how fast I was going, looked in my rear view and seen the cop looked down at the speeedometer and just :facepalm:'ed myself.

I'm usually pretty vigilant when it comes to looking for cops while driving, this dude was on a different road though and saw me then creeped up on me.

It's a really weird experience and one I will never forget. :lol: Until I was in the situation I always thought movies/tv shows just used it for dramatic effect. Afterwards I realized it was almost entirely based on reality. I know why it happens (or at least the most logical explanation) but that doesn't make it any less strange. There is no concrete answer, but the one that makes the most sense is we're not actually perceiving anything slower, it simply appears to of happened slower when you remember the event. It really only happens during very short, highly traumatic/violent events. Your perception goes into over drive mode and you take in far more detail than you normally would. Then upon remembering the incident, you have such a detailed picture built up it would appear as if the event took longer to take it all in (in normal everyday things our brain skips a lot of shit and just fills in the gap, which 100% true, there are simple tests to demonstrate this).

I can still picture (and I don't even have a visual imagination) the view I had of when the car was basically nose down. Just looking straight through the windshield and seeing a "wall of grass" has really stuck with me.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.

never really had a real accident. i have had minor fender benders... but that's it. the worst possible conditions to drive under are... inebriated and fatigued. fatigued can straight up kill you (not that being inebriated can't, it's just that it's not as well known)

used to go to college early in the mornings... would have to drive on the toll roads. i remember many mornings falling asleep at the wheel but waking up from hypnagogic jerks thankfully before hitting the side wall. stopped commuting alltogether.

one time i hit a trailer in front of me while have a lapse of consciousness... had been having serious problems sleeping and it all hit me a half mile from my mouse. just a puncture on my bumper was all i got.

craziest 'accident' i've been in was doing probably 55 in the rain on a road, some idiot pulls out of a neighborhood in front of me and i swerve into the turning median to avoid him, swing back into my lane, then managed to manage my car now spinning into a 180 in between two cars and finally skidding side ways into the embankment and stopped just before i almost hit a bush. i kissed my life completely goodbye in those few seconds and waited for the impact. all that happened was i had to get my front right tire adjusted and a new rim. :haha:


one time, i was riding shotgun... it was raining.. my 'friend' at the time said he was sober enough to drive, which after we drove off i quickly realized he wasn't. too late. he floored it in the neighborhood, and hit a low and slow speedbump and tanked it, and dropped his automatic transmission into low gear... completely lost control after me yelling at him to stop.

long story short, ended up between 2 trees with a foot of clearance on each side... front axles were destroyed, the front right tire perpendicular to the car. he was high on mdma and drunk come to find out.

after that i never really felt comfortable taking over my life... i've gotten better and there are some people i trust more than others.

i've got tons of driving experience under my belt. if i am good for nothing else, i am confident in my ability to operate a motor vehicle under any conditions.

went skiing with 2 chicks in north carolina, the roads were icy as fuck, a jeep
and another car had a wreck in a curve on an icy road, both were on the other
side, apparently one tried to cut the curve short and hit the other head on, as
I was coming up on them a station wagon was trying to go around and came into
my lane and hit us head on. he was moving pretty fast, i was kicking it at
around 40mph. I tried to put the car in the ditch but I didnt make it. the
wagon hit us, it totaled both cars to the point they couldnt be driven, the
hood on mine was buckled to the point that you couldnt see over it, the engine
had pushed through the firewall and we werent getting out on our own.

it took about an hour for the cops to arrive and about 20 minutes later the
duke power rescue team came in with tools to cut us out of the car. the chick I
was dating was flown by helicopter to a hospital in greenville, me and the
other chick were taken by ambulance. the cops met us there to get statements
and shit. all 3 of us were released that day but they told us to keep the one
chick under observation for a few days, when we got to atlanta and stayed the
night savanna was pale and passing blood, she ended up in the ICU for a week
and was hospitalized for nearly a month. the insurance company flew her mom to
atlanta, hooked he up with a hotel and rental car and was paying to make sure
she got her methadone, savanna got a $250k settlement out of it because it
fucked her modeling career to have a 3 inch scar on her ribs, that money was
gone within 6mos to support her mom's drug habit and the one she managed to
develop after she was released

I missed the opportunity to sue a surgeon due to statute of limitations, and whenever I start to get pissed, there's a part of me that knows I would have got myself into trouble with all that money and being a recovering addict.

Shroomslip that was an awesome story :lol:

Only serious crash I've been in was slamming into a parked car on my street while I was looking at my mp3 player like a week after I got my license :facepalm: Not one of my best moments.

Nope. Never crashed a car in my life.

I fishtailed, spun around, lost control, slid away on ice, got forced in the ditch by snow, completely fucked the alignment by hitting a curb, completely fuck the mud guards everywhere, I completely fucked the rotors.

But I never crashed a car...

I've never been in a crash either.  I've come close but always managed to avoid it with a combination of skill and luck.  I've been rear ended at very low speed once and apart from that I've hit nothing but a shopping cart and I think a concrete block, both while reversing.

Oh yeah, I was a passenger in a car where my friend who was driving ended up rear ending one of my other friends car pretty good.  I saw it happening in slow motion and all I could think to yell was the name of my friend who's car he was about to run into.  I couldn't even think to yell the word STOP.

I still have my first car that I got when I was 18 too.  Only thing that's changed is that it's more rusty now than it was then.  It's not my daily driver anymore though.

I wrecked 2 cars when I was younger. Also was in a crash where my friend rolled his jeep off the side of an embankment.

Ooh yeah I was on the back of an ATV that rolled into a ditch once, but I just jumped off as it started to go so I wasn't injured or even really a part of the accident.

The atv crash I was talking about earlier the passenger got fucked and I walked away with only bruises and scratches, still feel pretty bad about that one, to be fair though he did bump me which made my whole body, including my thumb, move forward and throttle it up to wide open accidentally shortly before a jump.

Then another dude crashed at my house, I could see his brain, thought for sure he was gonna die, luckily the rescue crew was on it, it couldn't have been 10 minutes from first the time the first responder got there until the time he was in the air in the helicopter on the way to the hospital already. Don't have time to further explain right now.
