I suspect my next accident will be a lot like the previous four.

I'll be sitting at an uncontrolled intersection waiting to turn left*, with my turn signal on thankyouverymuch, and some inattentive moron will plow into the back of my vehicle. My most recent was when a priest driving a rented Ford Taurus rear-ended me** and nearly totaled my Civic.

I've modified all my usual routes to eliminate as many left turns as I can, but I figure it's only a matter of time before someone gets me again.

Tip: don't turn your wheels while waiting to turn left* because if you do and you get rear-ended the impact will push you into the path of oncoming traffic. :/

*right for you Brits

**insert gay priest joke here
