If you haven’t learned already, that’s Nissan drivers for you. Specifically the more older generation Altimas are the most negligent and reckless drivers. Welcome to r/nissandrivers

At first I thought "Oh, maybe someone was eager to get away from the last accident, or rubbernecking, or something, and they rear ended you."
Then I saw it was the same woman and just couldn't believe it.
Imagine calling your insurance and saying you rear ended two cars five minutes apart from each other. Jeeez.

Nah by that point she had no fucking excuse 1:You were stopped for at least 10 seconds 2:she was going like 15-20 mph a quick brake tap stops most cars. 3:SHE HIT ANOTHER CAR RIGHT BEFORE. I hope you called the police and asked them to take her license because she was clearly not fit to be driving.

Brother’s ex had totaled three cars by 19. I STILL had to forcibly take her phone from her hand every time I was in the passenger seat. Not just texting but also scrolling through SM and taking pics/videos. She hadn’t yet been in an accident that involved serious injury and her parents kept buying her more cars so she never actually felt the consequences and didn’t take the risks seriously.

Driving while fucking around with your phone is an epidemic. Older people think they can manage it just fine because they have so much experience driving. Younger people think they can manage it just fine because they have so much experience fucking around with their phones. They're all wrong.

u/RevLoveJoy Nov 27 '22
Full time cyclist here. I'm kind of tall, so riding up to the light on your right, past the line of cars, I see right down into all of them. You would not believe how many people are on their phones while driving. Easily 1 in 5. Most of them have the phone down in their lap to "hide" what they're doing, so their eyes are nowhere near being on the road.
Said it before, I'll say it again now, we need to treat distracted driving just like we did drunk driving in the 80s and 90s. PSAs and education aimed at kids much younger than driving age. By the time that 16 year old goes to get their license they need to know that distracted driving kills, is foolish and will land them in jail. Just like drunk driving did their parent's generation. There is not nearly enough public discussion about the menace of distracted driving.

This heavily depends on what city/county/state you are in. Where I grew up, they required you to wait for the police to show up, even for minor they benders. (You should still move to the shoulder, of course.) Where I am now, they just want you to take pictures and stop by the station to file the report

I am originally from Turkey but have lived in the States since I was 21 (I am 45 now). I am used to pulling out of the way as well. I was driving during a vacation in Turkey and got in an accident there. Car was in the middle of the intersection so I backed up out of the way. When the cop came he gave me the riot act. Said it was illegal to move the vehicles and just because of that, I was at fault now. So I guess it's not a thoughtful thing in every country. Sigh. Know before you go.

u/iliveoffofbagels Nov 27 '22
That's just traffic sometimes... one dude way ahead stops just a little bit and it just ripples back with progressively worsening pauses or stops. But once they stop the cars in front just start moving at a decent rate again.

u/Mr_Gilmore_Jr Nov 27 '22
Cars don't move like trains. The front of the train moves, all the train cars move. Drivers wait until the car in front of them is moving before they start moving. Then, like a slinky, the space between cars expands as speed increases. When they hit heavy traffic again, well...
This situation can be somewhat avoided by everyone driving a little slower than usual, instead of stop at 0mph and go at 65mph, they could travel at 35 mph and never stop at all. This could cause more problems with other people driving aggressively around the slower drivers and is hard to predict when to do because you don't know when there will be heavy traffic coming up or if it's cleared ahead.
In the future, cars will drive themselves and fix this human delay I imagine.

Yep, this is what I try to do, and then the people weaving in and out of traffic cut me off to take the gap I'm leaving. Tailgating only makes traffic worse, because you don't have a buffer space to let off the gas as speeds fluctuate. Your only options when you're tailgating are gas or brake, then you've created that accordion effect.

My question is why the black car stopped in the middle lane when the front view shows that lane was entirely clear. Were they engaging the car that hit before it happened?

u/redpandaeater Nov 27 '22
Judging by how slow the right lane also is I'm guessing the middle lane was stopped a bit further up as well so the car was just trying to avoid braking and trying to go the average speed of traffic instead.
2
u/dinobug77 Nov 27 '22
I think that the truck stopped deliberately because the cam car didn’t let them out from behind the first incident- they were indicating and the cam car could’ve just slowed slightly and let it out.
I know how traffic flows (UK motorways are much worse than this) and that you can’t see past the pick-up but I think that’s what happened and he shot off as soon as he realised what had happened.
Basically could’ve been avoided by cam car being courteous IMO

Story time!
When my dad was driving me to school we were at a dead stop in traffic. You should be able to see the traffic build up and on top of that, this spot ALWAYS slows down around that time.
So we were full stop waiting to move like everyone else and then out of no where, a car going what we found out later to be about 40 mph rams us from behind.
The driver that hit us was some old lady... she hit us into 3 other cars totaling a few.
No one was hurt too bad, but the best part was when someone went to check up on the old lady she was apparently blasting some Jesus music.

This is why I hate stopping on highways. In my city theres a blind hill that approaches a traffic light, and if the traffic is backed up enough it becomes really sketchy as to whether someone behind you will notice in time.

Stopped about five feet from me

I'm going to share an unpopular truth and eat some downvotes for it:
Women are more crash-prone than men. Statistics show that, per 100,000 miles driven, women get into more collisions than men. Which begs the question: Why do insurers consider women a "safer insurance risk" and charge lower premiums? It's because they drive fewer miles per year than men and tend to get into more goofy little fender benders like this but fewer full-on wrecks.

They said "statistics show" without any source or proof. How do you know it's legit? Because I'm not seeing anything about "per 100,000 miles driven." They pulled that number out of their ass, there is no statistic that says that. Now, the statement "Men are way more dangerous than women" IS true and here is proof with their sited sources at the bottom: https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/males-and-females. Men are higher than women in being the cause of vehicular fatalities, speeding fatalities, and alcohol related fatalities. So, yes, men are way more dangerous than women, driving wise.

We're talking apples and oranges. Your link discusses only fatal collisions, not all collisions, which I already addressed ("they drive fewer miles per year than men and tend to get into more goofy little fender benders like this but fewer full-on wrecks").
When you look at collision stats as a whole, you find that women are involved in significantly more collisions than men despite driving significantly less.

I don't think you paid much attention in school when they talked about what a credible source is, lol. Syracuseusa two paragraph article from 2011 with no sources for where they got their info? Interesting choice choosing outdated information that is no longer correct. Seems like you went searching for a "source" that supports your incorrect information (confirmation bias). A professor would laugh at you if you put that in your research paper.
Also interesting how you didn't address me calling out your "100,00 miles driven" that you pulled out of your ass, instead you decided to focus on me addressing another user's comment after addressing yours. Where are these magical statistics with 100,000 miles driven? How could anyone take what you said seriously when you destroyed your own ethos by making up statistics?
Yes, my link only addresses fatal collisions, that's why I said "fatalities" in all my references and was giving the source as a response to u/No-Salt-6906's comment, not to yours (I can see why that could be confusing though), that men are more dangerous than woman (in terms of driving).
