Getting hit in any car sucks! I was broad sided by a 72 year old drunk driver in a Mazda Protege 6 years ago...I had to be taken out of the passenger side, broke my back and torn my SI joint in my hip....not to mention the amount of bruising I sustained!!!!
Some people should not have a drivers license!!!!
Not making this up..........
Once upon a time I was a mid-level manager with a recently minted MBA working for me. I think the kid was about 24. His parents had bought him a brand new shiny red 300Z when he graduated with his masters degree and went out into the world. The car was his pride and joy. Anyway, leaving work one night, he rolled into a car in front of him and put a small wrinkle in the front edge of his hood.
He asked for a recommendation on a body shop and I put him in touch with someone I knew. He was at the shop, standing at the counter, with his back to the parking lot. That's when a geriatric drunk (2PM on a weekday mind you) sailed over the curb in his Lincoln land yacht and T-Boned this kids car while he was standing not more than 30 feet away. The Z was totaled. The old fart must have impacted at more than 35 mph. Can't imagine hearing that sound and turning around knowing what you're going to see.
At least no one was hurt. That old drunk could have taken out a sidewalk full of pedestrians. I have zero tolerance for drunks who drive.
