Oops!
SO today I hit some traffic on 17 in Middletown coming home from work JUST before the ramp to get onto 84... so I kind of went over to the right side to go around everyone and ride in the exit lane to get onto 84... ONLY to be stopped by a cop and some fire police people standing infront of 6 road cones blocking the ramp to get onto 84. EFF. so I looked to my left where I could actually SEE 84 and all I saw were cars and cars and cars just STOPPED. so i was like... eff this. so I got off in middletown.. some people were getting off in mtown and getting back on 17 so they could get on 84 from the other side of 17.. which is COMPLETELY INSANELY POINTLESS because OBVIOUSLY theres an accident so OBVIOUSLY you'll be stuck in it.
SO WHATEVER.. i went allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way throough middletown and got on 84 near exit 3 (the occc side). I found out later on that apparently there was a really bad accident and they COMPLETELY shut down 84 west between exits 3 & 4.
Okay so here's what I was getting at...
I was sitting in bumper to bumper stop and go traffic on 17, like.. stop for 10 seconds... go for 3 seconds and move MAYBE 50 feet.... stop for another 10 seconds.. so on. so THERE ISN'T A LOT OF SPACE BETWEEN YOU AND THE PERSON INFRONT OF YOU.... as I soon found out... very... littlespace
(I have a Jetta for all of you in the dark) There was this red VW Beetle infront of me.. and as I looked over at the fire police guy the Beetle must have ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY STOPPED because as soon as I noticed that he stopped... I absolutely completely stopped too........into the back of his car.
BOOM! so okay my bad. I ran into the back of him. and when stuff like that happens my foot starts to shake like a RETARD ANDI CAN'T CONTROL IT.
So I thought he was gonna be ALL sorts of pissed.. he gets out, takes a look at his back bumper and says "Well, I'm good", then I take a look at my front bumper and say "Yeah, looks like I'm good too", then he says loudly "Guess Volkswagen makes pretty good cars" and got into his car... I said "Yup.... sorry about that!", got in my car and drove off.
Not that I've had many fender benders with other cars, they've always been with inatimate objects like bowling alley phone poles and BRIGHT yellow cement poles in gas stations...
BUT this had to be the fastest "accident" I've ever had. literally.. a minute and a half....
BOOM... shit.. pulled over.. got out.. looked at both cars.. mines okay.. mines okay too.. VW's have good cars.. sorry.. drive off. end accident. start trek through m-town.
