This afternoon July 22, 2017 I was stopped on a highway with my turn signals
on to make a left turn.
I looked into my rear view mirror and noticed the approaching car behind me
was not slowing down.
I said to myself, "This car is going to hit me!"
Bam!
[Eighteen year old girl just smashed into my new car]
I looked at her face in my mirror and she was talking on the phone!
[Two thousand dollars or more to repair my car]
Later the Florida Highway Patrol made a report.
I asked the trooper, "Did she admit talking on the phone while driving?"
He replied, "No, but she was cited for driving too fast on slippery roads."
My reply:
"Slippery road my ass!" (Not said to State Trooper)
"I was stopped for over a minute waiting for oncoming traffic to subside!"
"The person in the car never hit the brakes until a couple of hundred feet from
me. There is plenty of room on the shoulder where they could have gone
around."
State Trooper relies, "Here is all of your documents and report."
