If we're going to talk about stupid accidents, here's my favorite:


The roads had about 1 inch of fresh snow on them. Under the snow was
ice. I was following a pickup, doing about 30MPH. We were coming to
a light that was red. I immediately started to slow down, but the
fool in the pickup (4 wheel drive) waited until he was about 10 feet
from the car sitting at the light, and slammed on his brakes.
CRUNCH. They got out and looked. No damage. Everyone back in the
cars and go. I'm still following this guy, when we get to the next
red light. Last second he applies brakes. CRUNCH. No damage. This
was getting amusing. Light turns green. Next light turns red. Last
second brakes, and he misses by about an inch. Unfortunately, I had
to turn. That guy really made my day. I never had so much fun
driving to work. As a friend of mine once said, "Driving in the
snow is a spectator sport."

PS: I have nothing against 4 wheel drives. I was driving a Jeep at
the time.
