Paul, as Bill Clinton would say, "I feel your pain." In the mid '80's a lady pulled out in front of me. I was going about 50, and I hit her broad side. She apparently hadn't seen me, but when we hit, she was already going fast enough that it pulled me in the turn lane with her. I broke my sternum, my nose, my wrist, and several soft tissue injuries. I was in the hospital for a few day. And they were going to arrest me. I was in the ambulance and the cop got in there, I was thinking, he has a gun like I do. He asked me, "have you been drinking?" "NO" "Have you been taking drugs?" "NO" "Did you get enough sleep last night?" "YES". Then I said, "You are making this sound like I did something wrong." "He said we have a witness that said you turned into the turn lane to hit her." I said, "You better find another witness." Then he said, "Why was this gun in your car?" I said, "I was fishing this weekend and forgot to take it out." He talked to the passenger in the car which got him going the right direction, and told me if I had someone meet us at the hospital he'd turn over the gun to him. Long recovery, that broken sternum. Wrist had to have surgery. After all this time I'm much better. :mrgreen:
Truth is, I came out a LOT better than the lady that turned in front of me.
