The biggest one I was involved in was a four car chain reaction. Traffic had stopped quickly in the left lane of a major local highway and I came to a stop about a foot or two behind the car in front of me. I was looking in my rearview to see whether the car behind me would stop in time and that driver did, but just barely. I looked ahead of me for a second and the next thing I knew <<SLAM>> I was hammered and pushed into the car in front of me. Apparently the girl behind the girl right behind me was looking at the other lane trying to get over and never even slowed down before plowing into the car behind me. The car that caused it all ended up in the lane next to me almost even with my car.
I got out to check on everyone and the girl behind me (extremely attractive) starts crying that she has no insurance. I'm thinking, shit that's gonna make life difficult. The state police show up take everything down and make no mention of the girl's lack of insurance. Of course, he also gave her a ride home since her car was totalled so...
My car had less than 1k miles on it and had almost $7k worth of damage to it (front and rear). It took almost 3 months for the car to get repaired and it never drove wuite right again.
Accidents suck!
