+1.

I still can't get over how a lady in an Audi A4 going down No. 3 road managed to make a right turn across two lanes into the side of my car, slamming into me so hard that my S2000 needed a new subframe. She bent my SUBFRAME. The entire right side of my car had to be repainted: front right fender, right door, rear right fender.. not to mention that she actually snapped a spoke off a FORGED RIM. Fucking christ it makes me mad just thinking about it again.

I never used to listen to people who said "oh Richmond's full of bad drivers and bad shit happens". Like whatever right, there's bad drivers everywhere, how bad could it be? NO. It's shit like THIS.

Anyway. Everyone says "oh whatever, just ride like you're invisible". I ask you, how could I have driven that day to avoid having someone turn out of a parking lot across two lanes into the side of my car? How could I possibly have avoided that? And if I was on my bike, the kind of crash that would snap a forged rim and bend my subframe, is there any gear I could've been wearing that would save my leg from coming clean off? Not likely.

This rant's going to keep coming back btw, I fucking hate Richmond.
