I've been in two incidents, one my fault the other not. Theone where I was at fault was it was raining ridiculously and I made a bad decision on when to turn left. The other one, the other driver turned left at the wrong time and I was pushed into oncoming traffic and almost off the overpass.
Glad you were alright FS. When you were nearing the overpass was there enough time for you to think "holy shit I'm about to go over the wall"?
It was more a very steep slope then wall, but even the cop who took our info was amazed that I didn't go over. Wish I had a picture of it. Our family seems to have horrible luck with vehicles. My sister has gotten into two incidents, one her fault the other not. My mom's car has been in one where she was rear ended by a guy high on prescription meds, her car was totalled in a parking lot when she wasn't even near it, and when she lent the car to a friend they got into an incident as well. While my dad has another problem entirely; people like to break into his truck. Once it was stolen and used to haul illegal fish. They even ripped off the canopy of his truck with a forklift. His truck has been broken into so many times that any key will open the door and turn the ignition, and you can remove the key from the ignition and it will still run! People still try to break the window first, for some reason, while my car will sit not 5 meters away, unlocked and untouched.
My wife has had two bikes that I have gifted her stolen since I've known her. Some people just have horrible luck. Others just forget to lock their bike up ;-) P.S. How is married life?While my dad has another problem entirely; people like to break into his truck. Once it was stolen and used to haul illegal fish.
That is one of the most bizarre things I've read ini a while. What made the fish illegal? Does he still have the truck minus the canopy?
Because of a combination of poverty on native land and special fishing rights some people try to sell fish commercially without a license. They of course need vehicles to haul this illegal catch, and I guess using a stolen one is better then using one of their own. Some time I'll try to find a good article on the fights around fishing in BC, some interesting stuff there. Married life is awesome, btw. I feel like I could accomplish nothing else in life and still live without regret.

That's nice to hear FS. Enjoy the honeymoon phase, if you're amongst the lucky it will last forever.
