A guy pulled in front of me and then rammed on his breaks so I never made it downtown, darn it! I might not make this challenge as I've a full weekend ahead. Oh well, half the fun is learning from what everyone else does.

Sorry to hear about your wreck.... maybe you could take a picture of that, an accident is certainly a city life type event.... unfortunatly. Well I hope everything works out for you.

Ouch, that sucks. Hope everyone's ok; there will always be other challenges, people can't be replaced.

I just read an article about how insurance scammers stage rear-ender accidents similar to this. Did you happened to be blocked-in by a car on your left?

One of the things they recommended that you not only photograph any damage, but the individuals involved (and maybe their ID as well). They mentioned that cops and criminals both hate to be photographed while "on the job."

Hope you're OK and everything works out!

Thanks for the concern, all is okay save for the hood and grill of my wife's car. If the bumpers had lined up there would be no damage, but this is a small car and it was a truck in front of me. Unfortunately, that truck hit another truck in front of it and sent the driver to the hospital with a complaint of a hurting back. Don't know if he is thinking of scamming the insurance or he is genuine, but that is someone else's problem to figure out. Anyway, I look forward to voting on this challenge as I expect some very creative photos, but I won't have an entry this time.
