so i was just narrowly missed being in a head on collision with some moron who went in to oncoming traffic (my lane) to pass a slow moving truck ..it was around a blind corner and only saw him at the last second. I slammed on my brakes and was going to hit but the person slammed into the sidewalk in front of me stopping his van ..if he hadnt hit the sidewalk I would have hit him ..and i wouldnt be making this post ..I was too shocked to do anything except scream bloody murder at the idiot for nearly killing me

I lol'd at internets alerted.


I dont know what we would do if our CptStern ever left us. There would be a deep hole in hl2.net that nobody else could fill. Glad you're ok. Were you driving alone?
 
ya thank god cuz my kids dont need to hear me swear like a sailor
 
I was more concerned for their safety, but yeah, i guess hearing stern curse in rage would be just as traumatizing.
 
my son once threw down his towel and said

"you ****ing moron" ...obviously imitating daddy who he may have overheard saying that when he was a passenger in my car ..gotta watch what i say when I drive
 
Did your life really flash before your eyes? I always thought it was a myth.
 
well yes and no, I clearly saw my wife and kids

Just kind of? People are such idiots when they drive. People do stupid shit on a daily basis here that could easily get people killed. And the fact I see at least 1 of these every day is a bad sign...

On my way to work, there is a stop sign for the other people at my intersection, while my road just keeps going. NOBODY knows there is a stop sign I guess, so they always run it. Most cases, it's when I'm going through the intersection, most cases almost T-Boning me.

Another, is on that same road, only a couple blocks up, the road is a 1 way. People like to turn onto the 1 way GOING THE WRONG WAY. I really hate the human race.
 
I'm guessing he drove on without so much as a glance back to check what happened?

Tosser.
 
no, he waved at me an apology as we were both stopped a few feet from each other ..he got it worse than I did as there's more than likely damage to his van from slamming into the curb


cyberpitz: agreed, I dont know what the hell is wrong with people when they drive ..really is saving a few seconds worth putting your life in jeopardy? ..and yes I was more than a little scared ..good thing I hadnt had lnch yet or I would have crapped my pants

30,000 posts must take a long time to flash past.


Glad you're okay Stern.
 
heh contrary to popular belief hl2.net is not my life ..in fact I barely visit here outside of work
 
well that's not funny cuz I have more important things that need to flash in front on my eyes than HL2.net ..like that time I got naked with that ...

maybe god saved you ;)

but on the other hand...god is an idiot for endangering your life just for kicks.:cheese:

will you sue the reckless driver?
 
sue him? nah you cant sue for almost getting into an accident ...he probably could have sued me for verbal abuse though


:E

Should have tracked him via license plate number then cut off his fingers via Stern's man handle.
 
Glad you're ok.

Reminds me of this idiot.

Unfortunately I think it's one of those rare driving situations you can't really do anything about. Hopefully you won't be put in the same position again.
I remember once a goddamn coach came round a sharp country bend half on my side of the road - at night. If I was in a car - or if I had been a skilled enough rider at the time to corner hard enough that I wouldn't be able to tighten my line - I would have been dead, but I managed to avoid it due to the lower width.
 
Cant say I would be overly distraught at your loss (honesty and all) since I don't know you well, yet, but purely out of the sake of your kids, missus, family and friends, I'm glad yer okay. Kids need their pappy. :imu:
 
You guys should see how people drive where I'm from. God, you'd think you were in idiotville or something. :p

Makes me wonder where people like this get their licences from. The gumball machines?
 
You know how the system is like.
 
Good to see you're ok.



Try MS's roads. ****ing rednecks don't know how to drive.
 
thanks :) ..thanks everyone who were thankful I'm still here ..for those who are not thankful you should swallow shards of glass, you bastiches

What if I'm happy you're here so I can finally put my "Torture Stern" plan in motion?
 
There have been a few instances where I should of been in a horrible car accident and somehow wasn't. The best example is when I was sitting at a red light. I for some reason started counting change in my console and didnt see the light change greed until a couple seconds later. Just as I hit the gas, a truck FLEW through the red light going about 60. That would of been a mess.
 
Whew! That means you can still die by my hands! [evil laugh]MUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!![/evil laugh]

But seriously, glad you're ok. An oncoming collision is the worst; at least double the energy involved vs any other collision & half the reaction time.
 
I'll get you next time.

I already made that joke, Burnzie. Be glad I have the courtesy to correct your post with the intended smiley, even if you are stealing it from me.
