Shy’s Good, Bad and Ugly #7
The Good…
No one was seriously hurt.
The Bad…
But the cars were both rendered useless. At least until major repairs are to be made.
Yes… upon driving to the gas station this morning (seconds away from getting there in fact), I got hit on my passenger side. The other driver was completely at fault so while my insurance premiums are left untouched, I’m waiting for an appraisal of the damages to my car.
The Ugly…
If that weren’t enough, on my way to the doctor’s later that afternoon, I made a left-hand turn from a 2-lane left-turn intersection. I was in the inner lane.
SHE… came from the outer lane and went right into my lane when she made the left turn, completely cutting me off. I breaked in time. I also honked but that didn’t seem to do any good.
When we reached the next red lights, I happened to be beside her. I honked and motioned her to roll down her window at which point I told her what she did.
Do you know what she said to me???
“NO! I was in my lane… I didn’t cut you off! I stayed in the lane I was suppose to be in!”
My response, “You’re wrong… you were in the outer lane of the 2-left turning lanes. I was in the inner one and you came right over to my side.”
She then realized I was right (or pretended to just to get rid of me) and waved an apology and drove off.
I couldn’t believe she had so little clue of what she was doing.
But my point like many points before… this is so typical Scarborough. This is the way people drive here every single day.
With their head shoved fairly high up their ass!

and that’s why i’d much rather be living in mississauga. remote as it may be from the action, much safer, with wider roads and less gunshots. which reminds me, i gotta post about those too.
Well, thankfully you’re ok after 2 close calls in one day.
And just wait, the insurance company is bound to screw you in some way even though the accident wasn’t your fault. Just watch what happens to your rates at renewal time when they tell you that it’s just some kind of “government” increase.
hey shy - sorry to hear about your accident today, but glad to hear that you’re safe. i’m a cynic who lost faith in our auto insurance months ago. they suck!
thanks for all your concern about my safety and well-being. yes, i’m thankful to have walked away with just some bruises.
my auto insurance called back to let me know that the other driver’s insurance has been contacted. as it stands, i’m at 0% fault which means that my insurance rate will not be touched. nor my record.
having said that… i’m with judy and jafer. i’ll believe it when i see it.
btw, the other driver was very sorry to have caused the accident. he was apologetic and to honest, a very nice guy having a very bad day. he had an excellent driving record all his life.
i’m not so much mad at him… more just at the situation. and i was way more pissed off with the women that cut me off later on in the day.
