I was sitting in a traffic, minding my own business when

My goddddddd.. U shud have hit him on his nose. I don't know y some people drive so badly putting their life and others at stake. Thanks GOD u r ok now. By d way one such incident happened to my dad,a lorry hit a van and that van stood on the bumper of our car. Thank god,we were able to claim insurance but then one advocate who was in the van was injured so badly it seems The lorry driver was a drunkard and the reason he gave was that he din't notice the red signal which was on. Moreover he was a drunkard. I get on my nerves when I see such people. DARN THEM

Oh Cynthiann! I read some of the responses and I'm begging you...PLEASE DON'T just walk away from this! I had an accident a year ago and I'm still dealing with the effects of whiplash! If you just had another whiplash injury repaired, you could have to go through it all over again. Whiplash can hang around for a very long time, making your' life miserable! Beside that, the man who hit you should be responsible for your' medical bills. Not to mention fixing your' car! Stay strong, sweetie. You can get through the paperwork and interviews. Just don't let him get away with it. Especially when you don't know the full extent of the damage to your' body yet! You are in my prayers!

Too bad that didn't get caught on video so that it can be put up on youtube. It would have also made good evidence, possibly for witness tampering. Can you imagine what law enforcement would have said/done if they saw what the guy did? Even then, the evidence would have been there on the vehicles - the damage to his front, as well your back end. Nothing like this has happened to me, luckily.

I'm so sorry to hear of your accident. Even minor bumps are very unsettling and damaging to our self confidence as drivers, even when it was no way our fault. Not only that, there is all the hassle of being late for appointments, dealing with the insurance and so on that seems to go on and on and just wears one out! What a nerve of the taxi-driver, indeed! I do hope that you got other witnesses (especially anyone behind you who saw the taxi cut in). Be careful with yourself, Cynthiann. If any aches and pains surface in the next day or so, please go to the doctor and get checked over. Although it may seem silly, get a written medical report of your check-up.

Last year I was driving to work. As I turned left, the taxi behind me also turned left...but faster...& knocked me into a row of parked cars - the first one being another taxi from the same firm! He said I hadn't signalled but 2 men in a van behind him had seen my signal. Unfortunately, it turned out that the other driver wasn't insured so I am still dealing with all the paperwork & trying to get back my policy excess & the 2 days wages I lost as a result. I hope yours gets sorted faster & that your whiplash doesnt give you a lot of pain.

Hi, I really hope that you are all well. This sort of misbehaving cabbies are quite common here. I too had been in a sort of similar incident like one you mentioned. Here i was returning from work, and trying to catch a few winks sitting at back, when my driver suddenly screeched and declared that we have had an accident. I found out that in the middle lane of the freeway a cab suddenly pulled over after being in a speed of over 80, he stopped for no apparent reason and my driver was clueless and rammed him from behind, but before we could apprehend the cabbie he fled from the scene... I hope you got over from the ordeal and are ok now

Ouch! That must have hurt, both physically as well as emotionally.. Experiences like these cause one's faith in the public to go down, but fortunately for you, the man in the van ahead of you was not such a jerk. If he too had belonged to the same class of people as the taxi guy, you would have had a much more terrible experience. I do hope your insurance guys don't give you a hard time. I was riding on a road once on my two-wheeler when a car from the oncoming lane suddenly jumped lanes and cut into mine trying to avoid having to go around a circle, to turn right (the road going to my left), leaving me nowhere to go and too little time to stop. I tried to accelerate out of his way, but even then, he hit my vehicle's rear. Since my two-wheeler was a lightweight one, I was instantly thrown in the air and the fall caused a lot of bruises and cuts, not to mention that my vehicle was wrecked. Fortunately for me, some good samaritans immediately stopped the car and got his number plate for me and even made him take me to the hospital. Thanks to their effort, most of my expenses were borne by the owner of the car.

I have never had anything like that happen to me before thank goodness. I cannot believe that someone would be like that. Ok, I can believe it, but it is terrible what he tried to do. I am glad the driver of the van jumped to you defense. I am glad you are ok.

Hope you are okay. That taxi driver probably always does the same thing for him to have such a quick response to the accident. Of course he would want his insurance company to believe that you hit the person in front of you, and then he couldn't stop in time enough and hit you. Taxi cab drivers are so aggresive and probably get into a lot of accidents. It is good that the driver in front of you was honest and realized how the accident actually happened.

O my goodness cynthiann I really hope you are alright. Whiplash can be very painful the next day. I cannot believe this man. (sorry men) But this was typical of the man to blame the women driver. (I know you men on mylot would all not do this) I am so glad the van driver seen what he did or this could of been bad for you, but I am sure the Police would of worked it out anyway. What a nerve he had. I think I would of lost my rag with him big time. Thank goodness that van driver came to your rescue today. I am sure you are shaken up by this also. Take care and I wish you well.
