Yeah, I know there are a ton of idiots on the road, but some are too much. Well, today was the first day I drove alone. My dad followed me this morning just because he's a father and worried for me, anyway, that went fine, but then when I was coming home without him following, I ran into one problem.

It was on a small two lane road, and as I go further, approaching a point where it becomes three lanes, I notice this van coming into the middle one, which was at the opposite direction, it goes further and into my single lane road, I applied the brakes and turned right into someone's driveway, It wasn't a paved driveway, but had rocks. I was probably doing 35mph before that, I must have slowed down to 20 or even 15 and then took right turn and sped up to get back end out of road. There was a car behind me, but the van stopped by then.

Oh, did I mention this week and next week my parents are having me drive our Volvo 850 GLT since it's automatic before I take my honda with a manual transmission? We also recently got a new car, but had something happened to the Volvo, then my dad would be back to his Honda and my mother would have the new car, leaving me without one.

I can only imagine how long my parents wouldn't let me drive even if it was filed as the other person's fault. I don't know how insurance would take it either, my first day on the road. I don't know how well my description was of the situation, but there could have been lots of damage to my car if I hadn't turned right.... I hate these idiots!!! head.gif head.gif head.gif head.gif head.gif head.gif

mogul, what's your name on AT? I was wanting to see the difference in posts, usually dieslestation has better posts because not as many members here

Basically, the van entered my lane in the wrong direction, luckily there was a drive way I could get onto quickly and avoid hitting the van.

was there not a shoulder or something for you to pull into instead of a driveway...

Nope, this was a small two lane road

Yep, sometimes other drivers suck- the reason I dread having to park/leave my schools parking lot everyday...a bunch of imature drivers who all seem to be trying to back into me. I'm glad to hear that you, and your parents car, are all right.

Ok, my website is back up, here is the image:



The van was heading for me straight on and only way to avoid hitting was to turn to the right into the house.

Oh, and there were solid lines on both sides, so no passing zone

today...one dude took a left from the turning lane when i was like 30 feet from him goin at 40 mph.............thats not so bad considering there was a police cruiser right behind him waiting to make the turn..........the dumass missed me by like 2 feet and got the cop chasing his ass........ laugh.gif

Just to prove the earlier points that there are soooo many morons on the roads wink.gif
