a very bad day...... i was involved in an accident

And that is the way of the world. Many people think they are in control of their destiny on the road.

“I know how to drive”
“Been out here xxx years”

Most don’t understand no matter how skilled they are, their fate may lie in another’s hands

 

Yep, I had 3 accidents in 2 months once in my car, long before I had my cdl.
Got rear ended while stopped at a red light.
4 weeks later somebody ran into the passenger side of my car in a parking lot and took off.
Another 3 weeks later I had a few deer job out in front of me and hit one square center of my grill.

Car looked like it was in a demolition derby.
Just a simple stretch of bad luck.
needless to say when the insurance estimator from the first guy finally saw the car, he totaled it out. The rear end damage alone was enough to total the old car though.

 

well first of all, if ANYONE has been on the road for ....XXX.....years...

that would meant that person has been driving for at least 100 years..???

which even at the age of say 16....oh man, a 116 year old on the roads....

think about it, you typed up 3 x's......one for each digit....lol


that be some old mofo on the road....lol

 

those pics are from the paper photographer, or an independent photographer for various news sources.

it is not like the o/p himself snapped those pics, and up to now, he didn't really say anymore than the published report by the ....reporter.

 

Blind melon chitlin. Gotta watch out for him

“Going downtown gonna see my girl. Gonna sing her a song, gonna show her my ding ____”

 

For some strange reason, it doesn't work that way.

 

Chalk it up as #### happens. Nothing you could do. Good thing its just physical damage and everyone will be ok.

 

What A model said. I have a habit of not worrying about anything I can't do anything about.
There is no need to stress about this, at all since the other vehicle was deemed at fault.

 

even if it was him that snapped them, it isn't illegal to take pics and post them online.

There are actually laws in place to protect people taking pictures. You are legally allowed to take pics of anybody or anything without permission if in a public place if there is no expected privacy (ie, atm, bathroom). You could hide behind a bench at a playground with a giant telephoto lens snapping pics of kids if you wanted. Parents would certainly have an issue with it and might call the police who could ask (not demand) you to stop to avoid escalating conflict, but it is legal to do.

unless money is involved. Taking pics of people for commercial reasons without their consent is a whole different issue.

 

Of coarse you are allowed to take pictures and post them, they are allowed to use them against you in cases that go south.
