Here is my Volvo after I was rear-ended by a Lincoln Navigator on I-5.

Crappy deal man. Looks like the volvo held up to it's name of safety. What the hell was the navigator driver thinking. The roads are dry?:confused: If i'm not mistaken how many cars did he manage to wreck besides yours.

Thats why when I drive over on the westside I'm one of the most aggresive assholes you'll run across, I don't follow too closely, but I don't sit in my lane long enough to let someone ride my ass. Whenever I'm over there I'm always usually going a little bit faster than everyone else trying to keep my own little bubble.

I think he was distracted, because he wasn't tailgating me prior to this happening.


As for driving faster and maintaining a 'bubble,. That is almost exactly how I drive, in this case there was no reason to change lanes prior to this. And because only my lane stopped, there was no place to go.
