I looked at my car and i didn't even have a dent. The other car is a saturn 93ish. That just shows how well our cars are constructed. The good thing is they might call it a no fault because they were turning left on a double solid line.



Something similar happened to me YEARS ago, when I was a relatively new driver. There was this corner, and on the corner were som really high over grown bushes so you couldn't really see around the corner. I had the light as I came up to the corner, so didn't really stop at the intersection, just went around this corner. There was a gas station right there on the opposite side of the road. There was a car waiting to turn left into the gas station RIGHT around the corner. As I can around, there just wasn't room to stop once you saw the cars. I hit the second car in line, I wasn't going more then 10-15 mph.

I felt horrible as we pulled over, it was an older couple- in their 70-80's. Everyone was fine, cars included. I was apologizing and making sure they were OK, and the nice old guy was telling me it was no big deal, and that he had very nearly done the same thing, and just stopped short of hitting the turning guy...

Interestingly, those bushes were trimmed within a month or so of this. I wonder if the same sort of thing had happened other times...
