Got in a wreck tonight
I was just driving down the road out in the middle of nowhere and was making a left turn. This guy in an F-150 was coming the other way and had his flashers on, so I assumed he was turning right when I saw the turn signal on. Yeah I know, I'm a dumbass, but it was just a stupid assumption. Anyway, I started turning and my friend was like "Woah, dude!" but I disregarded that, because the truck was turningright; or so I thought.
Anyway, I didn't realize anything was wrong until I heard the tires squealing and the front of the truck five feet in front of my car. I hit him right in front of his rear wheel and dented his rear panel and probably broke his rear suspension and set the axle back about 6 inches. The front half of my right fender is shot, the right part of the bumper is shot, and the hoods crumpled, and the whole engine compartment swiveled to the left, so the space between the fender and the door is smaller on the driver side than on the passenger side.
The good news is the car runs and I drove it up onto the tow truck, so I'm hoping the damage wont be too bad. I'll put some pictures up tommorow.

Let's see some pics. My fiance did something similar. She was turning left and the other person had their left turn signal on but they didn't turn. Her neon has not been the same ever since. She assumed too and we all know what that means. The lady had made a left hand turn at the light but it's such a slight turn your signal will not turn off. I drive like an old lady I never assume anything and people get ticked off when I don't turn in those kinds of situations but hey I'd rather take my time and have cheap car insurance instead of a wrecked car and a higher insurance. I am not flaming you or anything I'm just explaining why I drive like an old lady. Heck I get old ladies that fly by me
