Note to stupid driver - please check before changing lanes!

sstevens7 · 10-16-2011, 02:39 PM

Sad to report in about my first ever accident (I'm 28).

On interstate, two lanes, speed limit 65, I am driving about 55 in the right lane. Left lane has build up and the driver of a white Toyota Highlander decides to change lanes to my lane(right lane) before I could swerve out of her way and she clipped my left rear fender and wheel. Also know that the only damage to her car was some paint damage. She had similar marks on every corner of her Toyota!

The wide end of the Z saved me here from a complete spin out. VDC light kicked on as well. Look below for pics of damage. Keep in mind I am very OCD about my car so if there is just one scratch on her then that is ONE TOO MANY!

However, thanks be to GOD that everyone is safe!

Also, RavSpec, I am gonna need some information about getting a new wheel....Volk GT-S 19x10.5+18.
