So i'm heading home last night.. same time as usual...
i got to the intersection of south cobb and atlanta rd...
as i approach the red light i start slowing down to stop, BUT the light turns green.. and the traffic ahead of me starts moving... knowing that i needed to make a right hand turn soon, and being in the left lane.. i decided to check the right lane to see if i could merge over... 1sec later i look back in front of me to see the vehicle that was in front of me had slammed on his brakes...
i slam mine, but still rear end the guy... which blows cause anytime you rear end some one it is deemed your fault!!! well no damage to my car.. but a slight crack in his bumper (it was a mazda millenia).. dude gets out barely speaking english so i wasn't sure what he was saying...
he was a bit pissy at first.. then realized though i rear ended him.. it was the dip **** that stopped in front of him for no reason that caused the wreck... but he did tell me to call the cops.. so i did.... and after i reported the incident.. he changes his mind.. saying.. "i just got in this country i don't want to be involved with the police.. i just go".. and i said, "sir you already asked me to call them.. and i already have, so they are on their way" so then he proceeds to say he just wants to go.. and i told him he could do whatever he wanted and i'd just wait for the police but i needed his info and he needed mine.. so as we do this the dang cop shows up....
we file the accident report... and i get a damn ticket for "following too closely" which doesn't even make sense considering WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT THAT HAD JUST TURNED OF COURSE I'M NOT GONNA BE 10 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND SOMEONE!!! so now i've gotta go to court... prolly pay a fine too... i told the cop the dude wanted to just leave prior to him showing up and he said "O RLY? well if he had and you two just switched information.. you wouldn't have gotten a ticket... but since i'm here i have to issue it... sorry man, wish i didn't have to"
SUCK!!!!!!!!!!
