Default Am I a magnet for bad drivers? I Just had one of my company's cargo vans totaled ............

today as I was driving, actually sitting at a stop light in it. Fortunately I heard the oversized mud tires on the little Nissan pick-up squeling as she approached from behind and I was able to relax and put my entire back and head against the high-back "captains chairs" so I am only a little sore. My Doc put me on some groovy muscle relaxents and anti-inflamatories about 3 hours after the accident. That is about when the body shop called to say I should have my company's insurance company ask the at-fault party's insurance company for a new van! :-(

First my 00' A6 4.2 (parked at my warehouse), then a cargo van (that I was driving) soon after last year and now the van today! At least none of them have been my, or one of my employees fault. That means that the company's insurance cost run sheet is still clean ;-)

She was obviously towed and she went to the hospital in an ambulance as a "precautionary measure" suggested by the paramedics.

If it could be cost effective to deliver plum puddings in an A8, we'd have a fleet of 'em already!
