Author Topic: Get better Ethan Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-19-2004 01:47 AM                        Be sure to take Chris' advice. Everyone without exception adores and approves of violence at all times for any reason. It solves all problems, and that has been proven. Yes, violence even solves violence.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-19-2004 07:03 AM                        Ethan, wishing you all the best for a quick recovery. I will make sure to post some new jokes to help you recover. Hope it doesn't hurt when you laugh.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Get better quickly !  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I really hope the ignorant SUV driver is found at fault for the accident. I see so many dumbasses making right and left turns and even U-turns without signaling. Cellphone use in moving vehicles should be banned. Frankly I think it is worth a reckless driving ticket. We've had a rash of fatal car accidents in this part of Oklahoma due to people who selfishly insist on multi-tasking while driving. Cellphone use is the #2 cause of serious and/or fatal car accidents, right behind drunk driving.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-19-2004 03:56 PM                     As an occasional motorcyclist myself, Ethan you have my sympathies, been there, done that, as they say. As a driver of an 'SUV'? (mines neither sport not utility) I would also like to ask all those who have replied to this thread; would it have made any difference if he had crashed into a Ford Focus? No it would not, flesh and bone vs steel is flesh and bone vs steel. It makes not one jot of difference if the steel is an SUV, Austin Mini, bus or truck, when you're talking about something as fragile as the human body impacting into something as heavy and solid as a car. Here in the UK we have a specific road traffic offence for drving whilst using a hand held mobile phone. It is legal to use a hands free kit, however if you are involved in accident or commit another traffic offence whilst on the phone, even hands free, you could well face a 'driving without due care and attention' charge, which could have rather more serious consequences. It is however perfectly legal to drive whilst using a two way radio, I suspect this part of the legislation was designed to keep emergency services drivers legal, as they are not above the law.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

However, there appears to a relation or ratio of vehicle size and level of driver ignorance. Not all drivers on the road are stupid. But it seems whenever you see a driver doing something stupid, he or she is usually doing it in a really big vehicle. My poor 1992 Camaro was totalled a couple years by some guy who rear-ended me driving a Buick that seemed like the size of a tank. He was looking through his glove box for a CD when he smashed into my car. I was in physical therapy for a couple months thanks to that one.  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-19-2004 11:24 PM                     ouch, get better man. to those who drive like shit  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-20-2004 03:24 AM                        Get well, Ethan!  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-20-2004 10:13 AM                     Bobby, here in the UK it's make specific, BMW and Volvo drivers are the ones you need to avoid to stay in one piece!  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-20-2004 01:44 PM                        Ouch.

Posts: 325 From: Plano, TX, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 09-30-2004 01:16 PM                     I just wanted to say Thank you to everybody for their support. I am very grateful and fortunate to be here today. I am really glad that I was wearing my helmet. The Doctor said that the helmet did save my life and that I am lucky that I was able to walk away the way I did. Someone must have truly been watching over me. Anyways, I just heard word today that the bike is totaled. Yikes!!! Oh well, I will see what I have to do now. Anyways, thanks again for everybody's support and concerns as it does mean a lot to me. Thank you. I will try and see if I can take and post some pics if anybody is interested in taking a look at it. I might need to get a new profile pic too. Maybe I can just get Joe to replace the old bike with the wrecked one. Aight Ya'll. Oh yeah, and sorry for the lateness of my reply.  |  IP: Logged
