    Tourists Crashed my Accord

    Damn tourist and their driving skills!!! Canadian tourist driving their rental Lancer decides to stop cuz he "got scared" from a car on the other direction. Whatever, he slames his brakes, I had no where to go and and I slowed down my best, locked the tires and rear-ended the Lancer. I'm just going to see what has to be done tomorrow morning about the car and get a estimate. This didnt happen on I-95(worst drivers training area) or downtown Miami, but on my backyard in West Broward. Damn bastards...

    It could have been a lot worse, no one is hurt, thank god. Oh well, just gotta keep going...

    Unfortunately in most states, the driver who hits the rear end of another car is at fault. They may have been spooked and slammed on the brakes, but the insurance company and police will say that you were not paying attention to traffic ahead. It is basic defensive driving.

    dude!! That sucks!! But Bob is right!! The only way you can fight this is via the court system!! And that is only to prove insurance fraud on the other partie. The point!! You are out of luck!! This will be coming out of your own pocket good luck!

    NNOOOOOOOO!!!!

    It can't be! I LOVED your car! I'm sorry to hear that happened, and yes you're right -- stupid tourists . Doesn't look too bad though (alot better than mine was! lol). Is it drivable or did it bust the radiator too? If you end up fixing it yourself and need any help, you know where I'm at.

    Good luck with it!

    ...And most all of them end up in south Florida . Seriously though (and I don't mean to offend anyone, this is totally true), down here 9 times out of 10 any motor vehicle with either a canadian, new york, or new jersery license plate, is gonna be trouble and do something stupid. Mix that in with all the idiots we already have, and well....you get the idea. I see it every single day down here....it's sad

    that sucks... you should have tried swerving to the right more.. if you about to get in a crash you try to swerve out of the way.. and if its unavoidable you swerve out of teh way as much as you can. if thats all you got over.. you need to stop riding peoples asses, or pay attention more.. i always try and stay like 4 seconds away from the other car in front of me... 6 if its raining.. just incase

    will all respects..NO excuse for running into something, unless it happens to be something that crossed the media from the opposite lanes..looks like it was a cheap lesson.

    Just takes a second or two at 50-60 to get into some real trouble.

    Think it's OK to take your eyes off the road for a second to adjust the stereo?, my favorite reponse to that is :

    lemme put your hand into some boiling water..just for a second or two.

    People in my neck of the woods are always on each others ass, like a few minutes is going to ruin the day..I let all of these asswipes pass me by..I even get out of the fast lane sometimes..so there they are in a major packof traffic doing seventy..no place to go if somebody loses a hubcap..and I'm 50 yards behind them..in the safe zone without a car around me..hold on a second..gotta crank up the bass....

    bottom line?, ego's heal faster then anything else..still got yer teeth?, no blood?, able to walk?..you won! ( if they don't come after you that is)

    I wished that the Lancer stopped for a reason, not because he saw that a car might have crossed his path. Lessoned learn, must assume all cars in front will stopped for whatever reason. January is a bad month for these Accords.

    It might be worse then it looks, when i drove it this morning for an estimate, I came back home to see ATF all over my right tire, suspension, and drivetrain. Im going to further investegate this and decide the the faith of my beloved car...

    as trrue as that may be, here the cars that cause trouble have plates from Florida, New York, or someplace out west. it doesn't have to do with where you're from, it has to do with not being comfortable driving in unfamiliar areas. people panic when they don't feel comfortable with where they are. it just so happens that Florida is a popular destination for people from this area. half of my family has or does (snow birds, but that's another story) spend half their life in Florida and know the roads they need to know like they live there. i would feel more comfortable in the Deerfeild Beach area than i do in South Jersey because i have been there more. it's just a matter of familiarity. like it was said, every area has their share of crappy drivers.

    yeah dude go for it it looks like a fairly easy fix anyways. Canadian drivers suck!!!! I live near the borders and drive the Q-E dub occasionally which isnt bad but in toronto and surrounding cities the drivers suck bigtime. Ever gone 80mph in bumper to bumper traffic??? if you havnt try toronto traffic at rush hour.... yikes.
