Maybe you are lucky to not have been in many accidents… well ask your parents, brothers, sisters, friends… have them explain the accidents they were involved in. **ill put money on most of the causes were NONE OF THE ABOVE.** pay up, because the first accident I was ever involved in was last winter… resulted from a jackass passing, t_o the left over a double yellow line_, around a stopped car in traffic (for a line of cars a t a red light none the less)that was letting my out of my driveway and collided with my truck with enough force to spin him 180 degrees around, slide ~20-25 feet, up over a ~2’ snow bank, and clip a “welcome to ballston spa” sign post. kid was doing well over the 30mph posted speed limit in the village. Guess what…kid was found to have been on the phone a few seconds prior to the accident by my insurance company. Made my case pretty fucking cut and dry to say the least. I accept cash. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ny-state-adds-points-for-drivers-caught-using-cell-phones/256907)._
