    Accidents happen, not everything can be avoided. If you're going 70mph down say 985, in the wet, and all of a sudden a car in front of you literally slams on the brakes, where do you go? Even not following too closely full on the brakes you will probably hit them, it's damp, you know you slide, there's another car next to you, can't move over, there's a very small shoulder with a guard rail, please tell me how you escape the situation.

    Not saying this is how it went down or that he wasn't following too closely or being stupid, but some things can't be avoided no matter who you are.
    I've been in 1 wreck my entire life and it was because i was tboned by a drunk driver, wasnt even at an intersection where i would be on high alert, just going straight down a 4 lane and a car from on coming traffic swerves hits me.

    I've owned a lot of stupid cars and done an astronomical amount of absolutely retarded things in a vehicle. This 18 year old kid already has a track record longer than me. Call it like it is, quit babying him and call him a moron. This is what our youth needs.... to be called the morons that they are.

    If i could go back in time and talk to my 18 year old self, id call myself a moron and kick my own ass. It would have done me a lot of good.

    ACCIDENTS ARE AVOIDABLE. Thats why they are called ACCIDENTS.

    In your scenario, if you are on 985 doing 70mph in wet road condition and someone slams on their brakes, and you hit a guardrail, GUESS WHAT..................


    IT WAS FUCKING AVOIDABLE. YOU FUCKED UP. ITS AN ACCIDENT YOU CAUSED.

    I drive in the rain ALL THE TIME at 70-80 MPH and i dont wreck you know why? BECAUSE I DONT DRIVE TOO CLOSE TO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME, YOU KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE, YOU PAY ATTENTION, YOU DONT PUT YOURSELF IN SHITTY SITUATIONS.

    Did any of you ever take Drivers ED? You guys are hysterical. Ever heard of the 6 car rule? The "drive in the conditions that are present" rule? Always have an escape route rule? Practice defensive driving? Stagger your lanes?

    This isnt like someone Tboned him and just nailed him. The accident is because he was following too closely and made a mistake.

    STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR SHITTY DRIVING.
    I'm saying some things are NOT avoidable. No matter how you drive, how much room you leave, some times things just go wrong.

    I've never had a wreck either, but I know it could happen even though I know I'm a very cautious driver.
