Hmmm
Car vs car accidents I've had...
1. white elderly woman - rear ends me while I'm sitting still waiting to turn.
2. white drunk woman - no lights, dark road, buckled the hood of our car so badly that I couldn't see over the hood from the passenger side.
3. black couple - not their car, no liscence (just had it pulled the day before for drunk driving), rust bucket of a car with no insurance.
4. elderly man - car full of elderly people, changed lanes on the interstate, caught our nose and sent us careening across the median and into a guard rail. The man drove on to call the police but fortunately returned.
5. elderly man - entering a 4 lane (2 lanes north, 2 lanes south) from the west while we're going north. Crosses the southern lanes, does not pause in the median, crosses the nearest north bound lane and enters our lane smacking right into our front left fender and hitting us hard enough to total our car and make it completely undriveable.
verdict - appears the worst drivers in Wisconsin are the elderly followed closely by drunk (of any race I'm sure) and the black. The incident with the black drivers was the most trouble. It took us 2 years to get our deductible back via the insurance company garnishing their wages. Had a black man even come to our door and ended up dealing with 3 confrontations with these morons. The elderly were at least apologetic for their mistakes. The Blacks were bull headed, angry, and moronic.

I resemble that remark
THe only reason we bought the Ford Escort is that it was cheap and good on gas. The only reason I ever drive my Ford Escort is when hubby takes one of the good cars that we have and he's got the other good car apart to work on it. I HATE driving that Escort because its too small for the little kids, and it's hardest for me to handle. I'd much rather take the Chevy Lumina.
