Chit you see in Florida daily.
-Cars at stoplights not moving when it turns green because grandpas meds made him tired and he fell asleep.
-Car in left turn lane sees green arrow, turns wheel hard left, drills the gas and drives over the 1 foot high curb.
-Brand new Cadillacs and Hyundais WITH the window sticker and the passenger side ripped off from hitting the concrete pole at the bank or supermarket.
-Driving the wrong way down the spit part of Federal Highway like is a sunny fukin day and there is nothing wrong.
-Old ladies wearing sweaters and boots.... when its 95 degrees

I love em' and they sure do make for some great entertainment.

You know my parents? :grinser010:

Car had 5K in damage, even caved in the door sill/rocker panel. Best part.......he paid out of pocket because he was afraid the insurance company would cancel his policy!

He stopped driving shortly thereafter.......apparently his kids realized the driving gig was up! Plus he would have to buy 50,000 gallons of gas just to cover the body repair! :D

Here at the Cape when I'm in my car I'm either dodging the "blue hairs" who drive like chit or some young kid texting while driving, not sure which is worse.

Just about everyone I know that's had some sort of claim albeit home, car, health, have avoided submitting to insurance companies out of fear of being dropped or jacked rates. What the heck is the point of insurance anymore? Insurance companies, the true terrorists of the American people.

I hope to die just like grand pa -- in his sleep

Not like the passengers riding in the car he was driving
