So my Thursday did not start off very good at all. Yesterday on the way to work I got rear ended at about 7:30 am. Lots of people get in accidents in this say spot. It's a main road entering the interstate and the traffic is always backed up there and everyone trying to get onto the interstate. I been taking this way for about the last 10 years and see it all the time. I would guess over a year it averages out to about once a week someone gets rear ended there. This time is was me. I was so pissed cause I assume he was on his phone when it happened. I can't say for sure but I'm just guessing. Thankfully his has insurance and sounds like they are going to cover it but just waiting on hearing back for sure. Nothing like being inconvenienced for someone else's mistake. Well the upside is no one got hurt, but my car is all busted up.

I am very sorry that happened to you. Two times in under 10 years, I got rear ended and both times luckily I was not hurt, It just makes me so angry to think about it.

@Bensen32 I agree, it is the other drivers who I worry about.

I like driving, don't even mind if the weather is bad (rain or snow), it's just all the other drivers I don't trust.

Thank you Jennifer, Yea the good side of it was being ok, the downside is the car banged up and now dealing with insurance to get it fixed. Hopefully that will not take to long.

It's good no one got hurt but I'm sorry about your accident. It's so frustrating when you don't do anything wrong and someone else does and it affects you. Too many people use their phone while driving now adays so I wouldn't be surprised if he was on his phone

Geez, you really cannot tell, even if you are careful on the road if its not your day still something can happen. But looking on the brighther side atleast no one was hurt. Is the driver a he or she?

yea, you never know when someone else is going to run into you, 32 years of driving and only two accidents both caused by other drivers. The other driver this time was a man.

Still waiting to hear back from insurance to see if they are going to cover it.
