  1. As for the driver, in the USA, the police would contact him.  If he "didn't see you" and was not intoxicated or abusing a drug, chances are he's probably got night blindness and shouldn't be driving at night.

    Well, the thing is that it was in the middle of the day in bright daylight..


  2. As some of you may know, I live in Sweden and writing in english can be pretty tough sometimes, but I hope I can put this down in words..

     

    Two days ago I was in a car accident. I was going to make a left turn, but I had to stop since there was so much traffic. When I had been waiting for about 10 seconds, I saw a big truck coming in behind me, I remember I had time to think "he is going to fast", then a second later he rammed me from behind. Luckily, I was pushed to the other side of the road without crashing into any other car.. I would probably not be alive otherwise.

     

    A doctor examined me and I was given some painkillers for my neck and back. If I am lucky I will be alright in a couple of days..

     

    What makes me so mad is that the guy that rammed me hasn't even spoken to me, given me an explanation of why the hell he didn't stop! The police said he simply didn't see me, I just can't believe that they let him go! People that make these kinds of mistake shouldn't be allowed to drive! There was nothing to block his sight, he could see me for at least 300 meters, yet he didn't, there must be something wrong!!

     

    It doesn't seem like I will be getting any financial retribution (is that the right word?), is this they way it works in your country as well?! People can just ram other cars and get away with it?!


  3. Well, I tried beer in the fifth grade and that was it for me. Both of my parents drank beer, and we children were not alllowed to touch it. I thought it must be delicious, and so when my dad was sitting there relaxing drinking an ice cold beer, I asked if I could have a sip. He obliged me (knowing what the outcome would be) and the rest is history. I never touched the stuff again.

    You don't drink beer? It's great with grilled meat! :)
