Pulling out from parking in NYC, merging into road; asshole cab driver guns it as I’m practically entering the lane (traffic was at red light) and clips my car. Does not stop after I honk my car at him for 2 blocks, I go into WOT and cut him off… he crashes into my bumper. I come out see yellow paint on my bumper and rage, go up to him and he refuses to open window/door. Cops come, i show them the damage they say ‘this will buff out’, it was kinda true but we all loled at it. Guy from taxi comes out starts yelling and calling me crazy and that I tried to drag him out the car. They lol at him. Basically decided not to file insurance… not in garage I realized bumper is cracked internally ☹ Feels bad man… ---

Oh just FYI I know I should not have put pedal to the metal and passed/cut him off but I was fucking mad this shit face saw me coming in his lane (I waited for other jeep in front to move up and slowly creeper) and just floored it when the car in front of him was barely passing me and clipped me. I did not know it was just small scratch on fender I just had a ‘thud’ and mother fucker tried to get lost in traffic. Fuck that shit. ---

Lol yeah whatever, what I hate is that because rates go up for two parties many people don’t report shit. I mean yeah, I will go and super glue bumper trim back and sand it down/spray it a bit but why the fuck should I do it if this fag scraped me because he was in the hurry to move his car 1 foot. Fuck that. ---

You need to yield to on coming traffic when entering a rd. Sound like this was all your fault. ---

> [@bpipe95](#): > > You need to yield to on coming traffic when entering a rd. Sound like this was all your fault. I was already in the road, I came out from side parking (garage) people let me through the gap to get on the right side of the road, there was some dude double parked on that side so i started merging into left side of the road slowly that asshole just floored it being a small dick bitch so I don’t get in the lane. Edit: Damage was on my front left FENDER, his fault. ---

No it is def your fault. You were merging and as such, it is your responsibility to yield to on coming traffic. Yeah the polite thing would be for him to let you come in but your in nyc so not many people are polite. ---

That’s a question to ask yourself. You should have left the car parked and walked. If you don’t understand why you were at fault you shouldn’t be driving. ---

Amen, when I upgrade next summer it’s going to be hard to get out of the mindset that it’s not a beater and I actually have to be careful driving in the snow, lol.
