Good Lord, what do you do to get hit so much?
I don't know other than exposure. I usually drive around 60,000-70,000 miles or so a year.
I got hit head on by a drunk. I was sitting at the light, he attempted to make a left turn in front of me (coming from the other direction) but unfortunately he had already gone through the intersection.
In Denver, I stopped for an ambulance entering the intersection, the guy behind me didn't.
Just a couple of months ago I slowed to keep from hitting a motorcycle that cut in front of me, the guy behind me didn't.
Lets see..... Got hit three times in the rear while sitting still at a red light.
A few years back I stopped for the yellow light, the guy behind the guy beside me was going to try and beat it by jumping around the guy in front of him. Unfortunately he jumped into my lane behind me as his path to run the red light.
I haven't gotten hit but twice in the last 10 years or so.

Just lucky I guess???

You're a statistical anomaly. I never hoid'a nobody with such bad luck.

At least you weren't killed.

Haven't you been told that Yellow does not mean Stop? I have seen drivers do this and they are a menace to the road.
