    Not by a texter or somebody putting makeup on, but I did by a woman in her 50's while she had a cup of coffee up to her face. Then she procceeded to tell me that it was my fault. Only to her acknowledge I knew she was about to hit me, so I pulled in the ditch on my side. Stupid old back roads. She hit my car going about 70, and it ripped my side of the car half way off. Luckily I only had a concussion, a few stitches and messed up a nerve in my spine.

    80 mph huh? It's a wonder your car wasn't split in half. Did she live?

    there is a car that I would see frequently on my commute to work each morning... I would stay FAR away from her as she would ALWAYS be doing her make up while driving! We drove 12 miles along the same route... I don't know if she still does it or what her car is now... But I'm always thinking evil thoughts towards people like that simply because they are going to kill someone someday with their actions... and I always hope it's just them... I would hate for an innocent person to get hurt because they are too self-absorbed to pay attention to the road willfully forgetting that there are other people using that same road.

    Twice I've seen this but luckily (knock on wood), I have been affected yet ... Was behind one of my 20-year-old neighbors on the road and I saw her putting her makeup on and crawling at about 25 miles an hour (not in a school zone either). Second time, I had just got a new car and was waiting at the stop light to turn left on a green arrow. There were 2 left turn lanes and this woman in an SUV was in the one to the left of me. For whatever reason, she started to veer into my lane. I looked over and she was looking the mirror and applying mascara. GRRRRRRR!!!! :mad:

    So a truck hit you at 80mph and there was no damage to said truck?


    Weird.


    Glad you're okay though.
