- I have a better one. A car is stopped, left turn signal on, on a four lane
- (two each way) city street in the left lane, waiting for oncoming traffic to
- clear. The cross road is after a bridge over a set of railroad tracks, so
- the road had about a 15% down grade. As I passed the car, I thought to myself
- "Gee, wouldn't it be a bitch if the towtruck in the lane behind that stopped
- car didn't see it..." CRUNCH Tow truck rear ends car at 30 mph. The lucky
- part of the accident was that there wasn't any oncoming traffic when the car
- was pushed forward and left, because she had turned her front wheels prior
- to stopping the car.
-
- bike 2 cars 0 towtrucks 0 (round robin tournament of destruction...)

- Oooohh, I HATE it when that happens!
