There are a lot of idiots out there. My city of Nashville has changed from its quaint Sothern Charm small town feel to the chaotic NY, Cali big city crazy. I love some aspects of the influx of new multicultural people, but not impressed with their impatient often aggressive driving style.
This year alone I close out with 4 incidents, this does not include probably 10 times someone has hit my sticking out wheels and tires (read poke) in traffic ??.
I’ve had a weapon drawn on me twice for absolutely nothing, yes I carry but that is not the time nor place to engage a crazy person that very obviously has no idea about rules of engagement nor how to hold a weapon.
I’ve also been hit in the back of my gladiator twice in less than 2 months. Yes lass than two months!
both of the drivers that hit the gladiator were not from my home state of TN, and neither had insurance or a DL. Pictures below, the gladiator with the red focus accident happened a little over 24 hours ago. His car went under the JT hitting it really hard. This makes no sense, I wasn’t looking at rear view when this happened, because I was on an on ramp to the interstate from downtown Nashville. He must have been on his phone, fell behind as traffic moved forward, then floored his vehicle not realizing the traffic in front of him, including me and my beloved JT, were stopped in traffic again.
this driver got out of his totaled car, I asked him if he was okay, he simply said “I don’t have a driver’s license, turned and ran on foot back up the ramp until out of sight, never to come back. A true hit and run on all senses of the words!
I waited for 3.5 hours blocking more than half of the on-ramp yet people were able to get by, even semi trucks that missed me by 1” or less. People often yelling at me, flipping me off, getting out and telling me I had to move my truck because it’s the law… umm the police told me to stay put, and I couldn’t move anyway because the car was stuck under my truck!
glad my gladiator is lifted, glad I wasn’t carrying my expensive mountain bike on the rear. These trucks are tough. Though I think this time the hit and going under the JT bent the frame.
the first rear hit happened when I was turning into a hospital parking lot but still on a main road. A black Toyota Avalon hit me then and I did not get the front end pics of the Avalon. You can see the hood of that car pushed back to the windshield. A front view would show the total destruction the JT put on this car too. This guy had a father show up in another car 10 minutes after accident. The father was yelling at me in Farsi, I understood some of it but the hospital security officer knew more of the language than I did. The father was trying to get me to tell the police that he was driving the car, not his son. His son did not have a DL nor insurance. The son was cuffed and taken to jail. I was surprised by the police taking him into custody. I hadn’t had time to replace the rear bumper yet, so same bumper took the hit from the red ford as well.
