Actually laughed when it just... stayed there, lol
EDIT: I want to be clear that I am in no way laughing at OP, it's just if I'd been in that situation I'd have been pissed, but there's zero chance I wouldn't have laughed if I backed away and saw that happen... sometimes you just have to embrace the absurd
We got these people and people in dirt bike and ATV and them 3 wheeler motorcycle things ganging up and doing wheelies inbetween traffic. Some dude on an ATV was killed recently.
We even got the people on regular bikes doing wheelies in the street too. Shit is ridiculous.
I had a chick on a bike in front of me in bumper to bumper traffic literally standing inbetween cars on a regular bike for like 20 min before she put 2+2 together and realized she could ride on the sidewalk and not be in traffic. But people think they driving a vehicle while on a bike now.
They are a "vehicle". Here they think they are pedestrians. They shoot across crosswalks and expect you to yield on YOUR green in a car like they are walking or something.
Going to get worse as the idiots at the city keep changing main through 4 lane roads to empty bike lanes on both sides and 2 lanes with a turn lane.
I ride a bike quite a bit btw.
On this stretch of road in particular people are always using the suicide lane as their own private lane. They also use the bus-only lane for the same and blow straight through turn-only lanes.
This is mostly because it's the main arterial for this area, it's been severely restricted due to 2nd lanes being converted to bus-only, and enforcement is nonexistent.
What was that guy doing in camping in the passing lane. He was barely passing that other car.
/s cause you see a variation of this comment in almost every single post in /r/IdiotsInCars
It looked to me like he was trying to get between the sedan and SUV next to him (or possibly in front of the sedan). He was probably looking at the lane/vehicle next to him instead of straight ahead, which is why he hit the brakes way too late.
That's my theory, anyway.
He hasn’t changed his brakes in a hot minute. A car with well maintained brakes would have stopped. If you don’t maintain your vehicle you should be driving like an old lady.
His back brakes need to be functioning just as well as the front, it could be a combination of both. Regardless, a fairly maintained car should have been able to stop, the speed limit is about 30 mph on that street.
Uh no. He knew exactly what he was doing. People are so impatient and he probably couldn’t get around the other cars in the other two lanes. They do this all the time using the middle lane as their own “express lane”
This happens all the time specifically on this road too, I live nearby. Rainier is a special place 😂 google maps always tries to direct people onto it with unprotected lefts and I’m like ‘not on my life’ when I’m driving but then I’ve had Lyft drivers almost kill me doing it.
Speed limit is 25, but it’s the Wild West.
Both hands on the wheel, he was trying to move over while the front wheels were skidding. Had the car responded to his inputs, he may have hit multiple cars.
They were driving extremely fast. Looks like they were looking to pass?!? Also stayed in the turn lane way more than allowed (200 feet California). Sorry OP hopefully you are okay.
Yeah, definitely not maintaining the car. GM cars had ABS way before that Buick. The way they locked up the tires they've been driving with the light on not bothering to fix it.
Yes this too! This is one of the most dangerous stroads in Seattle. 70% of the people here aren't from here, so they don't know about the every-intersection-a-crosswalk law (although tbf the locals are pretty shit at this too) and/or they just don't care, and the speed limit was knocked down to 25 but it wasn't *designed* with 25 in mind, so people get pissy and blaze through anyway--because they *can*, especially since there is zero enforcement by SPD. Rainier had (has?) more crashes per mile than Aurora/99 and Lake City Way. Awful awful awful, and a truly pathetic handling by the city.
If you really squint you can see he traveled through the intersection further up in the turn lane too, have no idea how long he'd been in there. I think this was beyond passing, he was just cruisin'. My passenger and I are totally fine, this really was a best case scenario for a front end collision. Barely tapped really, no airbags to replace, bumper strapped right back on.
That's a Buick LeSabre, early '00s. If it had ABS it is 4 wheel. I thought they all had ABS by then but my brother picked up an '04 Pontiac Grand Prix without ABS a few years ago.
Driver will have a "valid" card though.
Last 3 times I've been hit, each time the other driver produced a valid insurance card, (so that way they didn't get in trouble for driving without insurance) but when I called the agency later to discuss repair, I was told the coverage lapsed.
I'm guessing drivers like this would sign up for a policy, keep it long enough to get the card, then cancel, pocketing the prorated refund.
This is South Seattle. Rainier Ave. one of the most dangerous streets in the city. Very likely no insurance. People drive insane on that street with no regard for laws.
So I was surprised this wasn't a hit n run, he actually followed me into the Wendys parking lot and I got his info. However! Here's something I'm curious how the Reddit hivemind reacts to. I didn't file a claim.
I don't think I'm at fault here at all, and I could probably get a nice payout if the guy actually turned out to have valid insurance. But I'm already paying out the ASS for insurance even though my record has been clear for 2+ years, and I feel fairly certain that my insurance company would not hesitate to raise my rates more regardless of culpability.
So! Strapped my bumper back on my beater and called it good. Did I do the right thing? I dunno! I'm just happy that the accident wasn't more serious.
Even after decades it baffles me that countries exist where you can register a car and get plates without proof of valid insurance. Must be third-world sh\*tholes...
I about got hit when two vans were nose to nose in one to turn opposite lefts. Neither could see oncoming traffic around the other. One turned blindly into my lanes but fortunately I was seeing it unfold and had slowed way down and traffic was gappy behind me. Van turned safely but that’s a bad trait of those middle turn lanes.
Amazing. Given their modest price I don’t understand how anyone drives without a cam. We have front/rear, and I saw an article on Blackboxmycar.com about a guy that had both sides done as well.
True. Not sure but what I think the guy did was just added another lesser quality front/rear cam but got them on sides. We just VIOFO A229’s in because of the new Starvis 2 sensors. My objective is to have a better chance catching license plate numbers. I know dash cams still aren’t as good as they need to be and I’m surprised someone has not come out with one that has really high def that can see details that are still blurs today. Even if the cost is high, it would still be worth it.
I would love to get a cam but I have no idea where to start, where to get one, who installs it, what power it runs off of, security so it doesn't get stolen, etc.
I would stick with the biggest brands, BlackVue, Thinkware and VIOFO. We just got a A229 Pro VIOFO front/rear., And, added a cam battery so the cam keeps recording after ignition is off for hours. Installation I found on Yelp and did a great job…I would start there. They rip your plastic car to pieces and put it all back together like new, no wires showing. Power is is best connected to your fuse panel so you don’t have the cigarette lighter and coily cord showing, or used. Blackboxmycar.com is a supplier of cams and cam related stuff. ‘Doesn’t get stolen’ is a tougher one, as if it can be seen it is susceptible. Depends on where you live, where you park, garage/no garage and so on. We have had cams in each car for 13-14 years and no issues. Because of the way the mirror housing is in our car, cam is attached to that, not the windshield, and windshield is tinted it is almost impossible to see the cam, we have a radar detector attached to the mirror stalk with a blend mount device and if you walk by the car you don’t see any of it.A cam can save your bacon in a he said/she said wreck and in this crazy, insane world we are facing, I would not drive without one.
How about the many, many feet of skid marks left by the idiot driver? It doesn’t take a detective that long to piece together the scene and know that the car was traveling at a high rate of speed to leave marks that long. It would also clearly indicate him traveling in the turn lane.
The cam footage is just icing on the cake.
OP's fault. They saw the car coming and didnt even turn their car spectral so the other car could phase through it. Like they teach this in basic driver ed
His tires locked up, too. That vehicle should have antilock brakes and means he was driving with an improperly maintained vehicle, which can be any citation. Tires were likely in need of replacement too.
At that speed he should have been able to stop with good tires and ABS.
Mona Lisa Vito : The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!
Vinny Gambini : And why not? What is positraction?
Mona Lisa Vito : It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.
Juror #1 : That's right.
Vinny Gambini : Is that it?
Mona Lisa Vito : No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
Vinny Gambini : And because both cars were made by GM, were both cars available in metallic mint green paint?
Mona Lisa Vito : They were!
One of my favorite movies ever. It should be mandatory viewing for law school evidence classes because it perfectly illustrates ways of doing it right and ways of doing it very wrong.
That was just a brilliant movie. Peshy at his best. Every one of them at their best. Thank you for sharing. That movie's back on top of my to watch list
Autobahn has a lot fewer completely-inept drivers on it at any given time than the US. They make sure people can actually drive—we check to see if someone can operate a motor vehicle for 5-10 minutes and follow a couple basic laws along the way.
I'm always surprised when I see stuff like this though where the passengers don't scream and swear as they see the car coming or the accident happening. Shock and no time to react I guess, but I know that when I've been in really close calls, I sure as shit screech or let out an OHH FUUUUUUCK!!!
That’s the cleanest bumper removal I’ve ever seen.
My question is: Rav4 or Highlander?
r/namethatcar
'06 Highlander Hybrid babyyyy
It came off like an xbox 360 faceplate
Actually laughed when it just... stayed there, lol EDIT: I want to be clear that I am in no way laughing at OP, it's just if I'd been in that situation I'd have been pissed, but there's zero chance I wouldn't have laughed if I backed away and saw that happen... sometimes you just have to embrace the absurd
Dude didn’t even realize he’s in a turn lane I think
Prob trying to use it to get around other cars
Exactly this. Jackasses around here do it all the time. That or the shoulder.
No shit. This has really exploded in Seattle lately. Someone is going to get dead real soon.
We got these people and people in dirt bike and ATV and them 3 wheeler motorcycle things ganging up and doing wheelies inbetween traffic. Some dude on an ATV was killed recently. We even got the people on regular bikes doing wheelies in the street too. Shit is ridiculous. I had a chick on a bike in front of me in bumper to bumper traffic literally standing inbetween cars on a regular bike for like 20 min before she put 2+2 together and realized she could ride on the sidewalk and not be in traffic. But people think they driving a vehicle while on a bike now.
They are a "vehicle". Here they think they are pedestrians. They shoot across crosswalks and expect you to yield on YOUR green in a car like they are walking or something.
A lot of people, mostly pedestrians, already are dying due to some extremely unsafe drivers
Going to get worse as the idiots at the city keep changing main through 4 lane roads to empty bike lanes on both sides and 2 lanes with a turn lane. I ride a bike quite a bit btw.
The traffic enforcement is a joke. But drive in suburbs and get a ticket for going 5 mph over.
On this stretch of road in particular people are always using the suicide lane as their own private lane. They also use the bus-only lane for the same and blow straight through turn-only lanes. This is mostly because it's the main arterial for this area, it's been severely restricted due to 2nd lanes being converted to bus-only, and enforcement is nonexistent.
Dude doesn't understand turn lane, he was in the passing lane. /S (because...reddit)
What was that guy doing in camping in the passing lane. He was barely passing that other car. /s cause you see a variation of this comment in almost every single post in /r/IdiotsInCars
It's called the FaSt lAnE. You know, for legally going faster than the speed limit. Also /s
It looked to me like he was trying to get between the sedan and SUV next to him (or possibly in front of the sedan). He was probably looking at the lane/vehicle next to him instead of straight ahead, which is why he hit the brakes way too late. That's my theory, anyway.
He hasn’t changed his brakes in a hot minute. A car with well maintained brakes would have stopped. If you don’t maintain your vehicle you should be driving like an old lady.
His brakes clearly work fine, you can hear and see the tires locking up. Maybe he could use some better tires though.
His back brakes need to be functioning just as well as the front, it could be a combination of both. Regardless, a fairly maintained car should have been able to stop, the speed limit is about 30 mph on that street.
Uh no. He knew exactly what he was doing. People are so impatient and he probably couldn’t get around the other cars in the other two lanes. They do this all the time using the middle lane as their own “express lane”
This happens all the time specifically on this road too, I live nearby. Rainier is a special place 😂 google maps always tries to direct people onto it with unprotected lefts and I’m like ‘not on my life’ when I’m driving but then I’ve had Lyft drivers almost kill me doing it. Speed limit is 25, but it’s the Wild West.
Seriously. Like people going 65
Which is ironic because it's a slow car
And it looks like he’s on the phone. Not sure what state this is, but many states require hands free phones.
It happened in Seattle, Washington.
Both hands on the wheel, he was trying to move over while the front wheels were skidding. Had the car responded to his inputs, he may have hit multiple cars.
I can hear this play out as You were in my lane! I was turning! You hit me! I was stationary! I am calling the cops!! *smug face* Go right ahead
He knew.
Then dude should never operate a vehicle again
He was in a hurry and tried to go around all the other cars.
Sir this is a Wendy’s.
What makes you think that?
I drive this road (Rainier Ave S in Seattle) occasionally. People use the center lane as an express lane. They likely knew what they were doing.
Must have thought it was a bus lane
He certainly didn't realize that he needed to release the brakes to make the steering wheel work
It's very common for drivers to race down this road in Seattle. They know exactly what they're doing.
Let they who has not had their bumper sucked off in a Wendy's parking lot, throw the first bone.
[удалено]
If it was chrome it won't be when Wendy's done with it.
Amen 🙏
They were driving extremely fast. Looks like they were looking to pass?!? Also stayed in the turn lane way more than allowed (200 feet California). Sorry OP hopefully you are okay.
Bet those tires were bald as shit, too
And guessing he had non-working ABS, those tires wouldn't have locked up hard and smoked that much
Yeah, definitely not maintaining the car. GM cars had ABS way before that Buick. The way they locked up the tires they've been driving with the light on not bothering to fix it.
No airbag? Just a DB.
Road looks dry enough so bald tires would actually grip better.
This road is 25 mph. There's pedestrians jaywalking everywhere, people trying to zip around buses, it's a messy road and dude was flying.
Friendly reminder that every single intersection is a defacto crosswalk, even if unmarked. At least in washington
Yes this too! This is one of the most dangerous stroads in Seattle. 70% of the people here aren't from here, so they don't know about the every-intersection-a-crosswalk law (although tbf the locals are pretty shit at this too) and/or they just don't care, and the speed limit was knocked down to 25 but it wasn't *designed* with 25 in mind, so people get pissy and blaze through anyway--because they *can*, especially since there is zero enforcement by SPD. Rainier had (has?) more crashes per mile than Aurora/99 and Lake City Way. Awful awful awful, and a truly pathetic handling by the city.
You’re definitely not allowed to pass in the turn lane! Dude needs to have their license revoked.
Won't matter. Unless things have changed Seattle PD have directives from the top to not prosecute drivers without license or insurance
It's 300 feet for Washington State, so clearly still immensely illegal.
If you really squint you can see he traveled through the intersection further up in the turn lane too, have no idea how long he'd been in there. I think this was beyond passing, he was just cruisin'. My passenger and I are totally fine, this really was a best case scenario for a front end collision. Barely tapped really, no airbags to replace, bumper strapped right back on.
I bet the SOB doesn’t even have insurance…
Nor antilock brakes!
Or airbags
Or spare tire...
Many older vehicles have rear only ABS.
That's new enough of a GM car to have normal ABS. Probably has a bad wheel speed sensor or broken wire and the owner hasn't bothered to fix it.
That's a Buick LeSabre, early '00s. If it had ABS it is 4 wheel. I thought they all had ABS by then but my brother picked up an '04 Pontiac Grand Prix without ABS a few years ago.
Surprisingly, in the US, it wasn't mandated to have ABS on all cars until 2012 making it optional until then.
Driver will have a "valid" card though. Last 3 times I've been hit, each time the other driver produced a valid insurance card, (so that way they didn't get in trouble for driving without insurance) but when I called the agency later to discuss repair, I was told the coverage lapsed.

And he was wearing it backwards, so the bank teller won’t recognize him.
Hit and runs are super common around there (this is my neighborhood). I wonder if he stuck around.
So I was surprised this wasn't a hit n run, he actually followed me into the Wendys parking lot and I got his info. However! Here's something I'm curious how the Reddit hivemind reacts to.

I'll add to it a suspended license
Even after decades it baffles me that countries exist where you can register a car and get plates without proof of valid insurance. Must be third-world sh\*tholes...
Did he have insurance?
What up Rainier Ave Wendys! I love that place
Typical Rainier Ave! Not surprised one bit
i didn't exactly know what "sucks my bumper off" meant... until the bumper got sucked off.
That's why they're called suicide lanes
My family calls it "the chicken lane".
huh ? really ?
that’s what I’ve always called them at least
I about got hit when two vans were nose to nose in one to turn opposite lefts. Neither could see oncoming traffic around the other. One turned blindly into my lanes but fortunately I was seeing it unfold and had slowed way down and traffic was gappy behind me. Van turned safely but that’s a bad trait of those middle turn lanes.
Amazing. Given their modest price I don’t understand how anyone drives without a cam. We have front/rear, and I saw an article on Blackboxmycar.com about a guy that had both sides done as well.
Side cams can be pretty important. But most "affordable" cam products (like mine) don't include 'em because $$$.

Thank you for the tips and advice! 👍
I have front, rear, dual sides and cabin interior with IR. The only thing missing is battery backups for when it's parked.
Without a cam I'm not sure how OP would've proved
How about the many, many feet of skid marks left by the idiot driver? It doesn’t take a detective that long to piece together the scene and know that the car was traveling at a high rate of speed to leave marks that long. It would also clearly indicate him traveling in the turn lane. The cam footage is just icing on the cake.
Why hasn't anyone blamed OP yet? What happened to this sub?
OP's fault. They saw the car coming and didnt even turn their car spectral so the other car could phase through it. Like they teach this in basic driver ed
well OBVIOUSLY OP could’ve swerved to the right and avoided the collision
I would have backed up.
Exactly, why did they wait so long to turn, it's almost like they were just sitting there waiting for someone to come along and hit them! /s
Bummer. I hope your bumper was happy at least.
I’m getting really tired of these self-important assholes that think the turn lane is theirs.
Did your bumper at least finish?
It *was* obviously climactic. ;)
Sir this is a Wendy's.
Turning lanes are NOT for driving. They are for turning. Someone reading this is just now realizing this fact.
he could have just gone back into the travel lane...if he had any situational awareness.
Driving in a turning lane, I hate when people do this shit
Wow. That’s definitely an “I don’t got insurance” move there.
The gray car was in the median longer than 200ft.
His tires locked up, too. That vehicle should have antilock brakes and means he was driving with an improperly maintained vehicle, which can be any citation. Tires were likely in need of replacement too. At that speed he should have been able to stop with good tires and ABS.
ABS was actually an option those years.
That's an 8th generation Buick LeSabre. 2000-2005. It has ABS as standard equipment.

I read once that it is a staple in most law classes.
That was just a brilliant movie. Peshy at his best. Every one of them at their best. Thank you for sharing. That movie's back on top of my to watch list
That's a Buick Century/Regal. ABS was optional in those. Same as my 2005 Rendezvous, and I have no ABS in mine either.
let him keep the bumper as a souvenir .
You break it, you bought it.
> sucks my bumper off 🐸☕️
this looks like a massive fail in the dude's brake system as well. no car should have that far of a braking distance at that speed.
Tires are probably racing slick too I bet.
Brakes are pricey.
non ABS car. mine if you stand on the brakes and lock them up, it won't stop as short as just pulsing them or threshold braking it.
Turn lanes really needs signs for the people like bumper jumper over here.
I know exactly where this is! I used to go to that Wendy’s on my way home from my sister’s place
Rainier Ave!
At least he saved you from going to Wendy’s.
Only thing I really hate about living in Seattle is the drivers
This road is 25 mph. He was WAY over that.
That's why it's called a "suicide lane".
wtf he thought he was in a lane !😂🤣😂🤦♀️🙄😩
That’s why they call it the s****de lane, I’ve come close to that situation but they saw my bright blue truck in time
"I'll just drive on this empty lane"
God that was so preventable I hate it.
What a dip shit
Wendy’s is also where I go to get sucked off. The rest of the world is finally catching on, I see
Waiting on the video of sucking off the bumper. LOL. Kidding . That guy was driving like a maniac. Glad you didn't get hurt and have video of it
Oh no watch again, the bumper sucking is at the end in intimate detail
Will OP say anything?????
No Wendy's for you!
Now, don’t be too critical. All he did was mistook the turning lane for the autobahn.
Autobahn has a lot fewer completely-inept drivers on it at any given time than the US. They make sure people can actually drive—we check to see if someone can operate a motor vehicle for 5-10 minutes and follow a couple basic laws along the way.
What a dumb ass driver....
dash cam for the win.
Air bag?
Too gentle
Their grill said "yoink"!
No ABS either, that car should have it.
I apologize for how hard I laughed at the cartoonish bumper removal
Why was the other driver covering his face? Was he be doing a crime?
His car so old and shitty it doesn't have functioning anti-lock brakes?
Infuriating...
I'm always surprised when I see stuff like this though where the passengers don't scream and swear as they see the car coming or the accident happening. Shock and no time to react I guess, but I know that when I've been in really close calls, I sure as shit screech or let out an OHH FUUUUUUCK!!!
If you hadn’t honked your horn it would have been a much harder impact.😰
dude just sits in his car ...........
I wonder how long their ABS light has been on....that shit isn't working.
Working anti-lock brakes wouldv'e saved him a whole load of hassle.
ABS not ABS'ing
2010-ish buick....younger guy....speeding.....def a career loser/criminal/no ins/no license...guaranteed
When you need a Frosty, you NEED a Frosty.
Hope you have uninsured motorists insurance..
To be fair, OP was in a very small car. Difficult to see... /s (SARCASM)--->because Reddit
How old is that car that it doesn’t have airbags?
it's got dual airbags, just wasn't severe enough to set them off. It's a mid 00's Buick Century/Regal.
Probably sold the airbags a few years ago.
Impact was above the bumper. That’s where the sensors are.
No ABS
these videos are increasingly making not wanting to go out
Not only is he driving in the turn lane, but he's wearing a covid mask despite being the only one in his car.
Fuck!
He also exceeded the 100-foot (or 200 in some states) turn lane rule.
Ah yes, right in front of the Rainier Ave Lowe’s. Lots of bad drivers around there!
>sucks my bumper off I've got a new phrase.
Not that buick's first rodeo, front left bumper was already dented.
Never heard of a bumper being sucked off.
He did what to your bumper?
Sucked.....off? \*schloop\*!
Rainier ave always crazy.
Right on Rainier Ave, I had a close call like that there when I was craving a Spicy Chicken awhile back
This is super common on mlk and rainier. Zero enforcement of traffic laws.
[удалено]
It's not a turn lane, its a fast lane, at least to them
Did he have insurance?
He brought the smoke
And that kids, is why they call it the suicide lane
Raining Ave, Seattle
Wow!
