The bad luck at our house continues
It started here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022067605
Tonight on the way home after work I was in a fender bender. The other car forgot they were on a way way street. They turned (improper turn) into me. I T-boned them. I have a sore shoulder from the seat belt. I wasn't going fast enough to open the air bag. They all 3 seemed fine. I didn't have direct contact with them.
OnStar was wonderful. The first thing they asked is if I was ok? They got me calmed down. They made sure I felt safe. Is the car leaking gas? Could I run the heat in the cold temps? They took care of the OnStar tow. They stayed on the line until the police arrived. Well trained professionals. They followed up to make sure I was ok.
My car isn't drivable. I'll be in a renter for at least a couple weeks.
I'm hoping for a better New Year.

No doubt the Bellevue Bolshevik called a personal injury lawyer as soon as he got home, and will be padding the medical expenses with chiropractic for the next month.
What is that sound I hear from the First Ward?

I'm surprised he considers this bad luck rather than an opportunity for more free stuff.
And further surprised that the free stuff experts have not flooded him with advice on how to get more.

Small problem with OS's "bouncy".
He mentioned OnStar. OnStar only calls YOU in a wreak IF the airbag deploys.
If the car is "undriveable", then, yes, he hit hard enough to deploy airbags.
But........................................he said they did NOT.
Come on, Steve! You can do better than THIS!

No matter what we might think of the guy. I'm glad he is ok.

Unless it is a phenomena that only happens on way way streets I can`t picture what he can be describing on a one way.

I was scratching my head also at that. They turned into him, yet were t-boned? I got nothing.

Make sure you deal with the insurance people as well.
When it rains...
Oh and ice is your friend
Whatever would they do without Nads?

7. I suffered a seatbelt injury this year
Get yourself to a doctor—chiropractor, if you use them. You'll be sore for a while, and remember ice is your friend.
Dude, OS ain't no rookie. He knows the disability drill.

I think it's a codeword for what he hopes he'll be eating seven nights a week, from now on, with the money from any settlement.

Perhaps there wasn't enough room between his girth and the steering wheel for the bags to deploy?

For the love of God, someone please tell me what a "way way street" is.

That can happen, I guess.
Not that I've ever seen it happen, but others have told me it can happen.

Well.....there's those special awards for the Top DUmmies yet to come out.....

Steve was probably in the left lane of a one-way street when another driver made a left turn from the right lane.

I went back and reread OS's bouncy.
He didn't actually say OnStar called him. He could have reached up and pushed the button, assuming he wasn't too grievously injured (snicker).
The other car forgot they were on a way way street. They turned (improper turn) into me. I T-boned them. I have a sore shoulder from the seat belt. I wasn't going fast enough to open the air bag. They all 3 seemed fine. I didn't have direct contact with them.
I laughed when I read this part. Steve didn't talk to the driver of the other car. He was too busy calling OnStar and his lawyer.
If Chief Weeping Water Buffalo didn't have direct contact with the other driver, how would he know the other driver "forgot they were on a one way street?" Maybe they recognized him from www.electstevedawes.com and tried to run him off the road.
I'm going to take a stab at reconstructing the accident from Steve's poorly worded description:
Vehicle 1, driven by person unknown, was southbound in the right lane of X Street, which is a one-way street. Vehicle 2, driven by the The Boss Tweed of Bellevue, was southbound in the left lane of X Street, in the blind spot of Vehicle 1. The driver of Vehicle 2 was listening to NPR, playing with his OnStar, and looking at his iPhone, while drinking coffee and clipping his toenails. At the intersection with Y Street, Vehicle 1 made a left turn from the right lane, crossing the path of Vehicle 2. Vehicle 2 struck the driver's side of Vehicle 1. Low speed impact, no injuries.

GMTA!

I'm a little mystified by this "no direct contact" with the people on the way way street. Don't you exchange insurance info and see if everyone's OK? He just sat there like a sinister lump and waited for the police to finally show? That can be quite a wait sometimes, if no serious injuries happened.
Look at all the DUmmies, swarming around that sore shoulder. Sniffing around for valuable cash and prizes.
-

Yes.
That can be quite a wait sometimes, if no serious injuries happened.
I imagine the Sinister Lump (thanks!) punching the OnStar button over and over, shrieking "Officer down! Officer down"
-
Yes.

Made it closer to what it really would be like.

I was thinking the same thing. Last wreck I was in I had to find a pay phone to get my wife to come pick me up. Didn't even a cell phone back then.

That is entirely possible but am not sure why he needed to specify it was a way way street as that could happen on any.
Unless way way is a completely unknown to all humanity until now description of a multi lane road.
My guess is what all primitives do,they think themselves so smart that they over embellish their bouncies.
The DUmbasses never pick up on it because they are just DUmbasses but civilized people see through them..
Steve was by the sounds of it,the south end of a northbound jackass and hit somebody.
This is the groundwork for months of woe is me posting (competing with Pam) as well as already pointed out trying to fast track the disability gravy train.

:rotf:
Oh I forgot to comment about this, as I was distracted by the "no direct contact." .
He sounds like an hysterical teenage girl.
"Made sure I felt safe." ::) Dear Lord.
-

Some expectations of maturity are, unfortunately, too much to demand of the big guy.
-

Perfect description of how a democrat man***** reacts to misfortune.

I might need calming down if someone caused an accident with me, but not in the way OS implied. I'd need someone to stop me from hurting the person at fault for their own stupidity.
-
The car most likely wasn't drivable due to the stool and urine samples left all over the front seats by the driver.
-
No matter what we might think of the guy. I'm glad he is ok.
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
-
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Let me third that one.

So, Steve was working on Christmas day? Is that what I am asked to believe?
-
In Arizona, if you T-Bone someone you are automatically at fault.
I do not believe Steve's Story. I think it was a two way street, Steve is at fault, and he's the one who got the ticket. I also think he will try to write himself a months vacation...its the union way.
-

He was, because he needed something to do. He's suffering the "empty nest" syndrome, because the kids went elsewhere. And the extra pay was good too.

After reading the past couple of pages it seems that it was a nice sunny day on dry pavement and he might have been at fault. Hardly Worth typing about but its OmahaSteve. When I had my second Camaro I was working late one night just after Thanksgiving and I was working for Wells Fargo doing Bank Security at the time. I had the late shift and it was snowing bad outside. I didn't know it but by the time I had finished the interstate had been closed for at least two hours before and I was on the road already. I make it the 40+ miles to get home only to ht a sheet of ice when going down a slight hill crest. There were two cars in the intersection already and I couldn't stop. I was able to get around the two other cars just barely but that cause my car to go past and over to the left side of the street and catch the curb and the nose of my car goes up and then turns as it is going down hill sideways and I hit a traffic sign on the right side. It hit between the right side door and the fender and I get out to look at the damage and check on the other drivers to make sure they are OK.
After waiting for a long time for the cops to get there another vehicle comes by, a pickup this time and he follows the path I took only to end up hitting the left side of my car making the damage worse. Total cost was just above 1500 dollars. Id it was Steve driving that day he would have taken out three homes and church by the time he finished.
-
Last accident I was in, I had to call the police and let them know that I was legally armed. The police showed up and asked me if I was the one. I said yes and that was that.
Gave the other guy a ticket and told me I could go.
-
I think the purpose of this whiny, embarrassing post is so the sweaty neckbeard could brag to the DUmp about having OnStar.
Most monkeymobiles predate the development of OnStar, and very few DUmmies can afford the OnStar monthly fee.
The neckbeard has followed this Pam Dawson pattern before, rubbing the DUmmies noses in his ability to buy (on credit) a widescreen TV.
So read it and weep, DUmmies!
Steve can afford OnStar, and you can't!

Plus, he's looking for personal injury lawsuit advice.

17. Yes it could have been much worse
View profile
We have a granddaughter staying with us for the next couple days. She came in the door last night and came straight over to see how I was. She was worried when she heard I was in an accident.
Anyway I count myself as being lucky it wasn't any more of an accident than it was.
What was the point of sharing that?

They made you feel safe, Stevie? I thought you were a big ol' badass wearing daddy's CIB and uniform, Stevie!
Maybe you had to call OnStar because the story you're telling is, uh, bullshit? Because you popped off your cockholster to the wrong person and were on the verge of getting your ass kicked? Might that have something to do with it?
