A few weeks ago, my mother got into a bad accident and had to have her car taken in for repairs. The guy who hit her car (who was in the wrong) tried making excuses like "Oh, I couldn't see!" or "You shouldn't have been driving in that spot!" - None of them worked on my mother, who told him what for. Fast forward yesterday. She has a rental car, her car is in for repairs and all that stuff. She phones me up, tells me that her insurance check bounced (which it shouldn't have) and asked me to lend her money, so I did. Then, no more than an hour later, she calls me again, in a HUGE panic, telling me that someone was speeding at the stoplight and rear ended her rental car. The woman tried blaming my mom because she wasn't pulled up properly and again, my mom stood her ground.
It made me realize how ridiculous bad drivers are. If they don't want to be blamed for things that shouldn't have happend, why do wrong in the first place? I feel that these two drivers had the whole "It won't happen to me" mentality, thinking that they don't have to care about anyone but themselves. Luckily, there wasn't a ton of damage done to the rental car, but my mother still has to pay for that out of her own pocket and not only that, they're more than likely going to look at her as a "bad driver" for things that other people have done and on that note, I'M done because my mother just doesn't need this.
