Imagine a car accident in one of these... ugh.

Does it explain why someone would say their car crashed without it having crashed

curiousgal Jun 30, 2016 View on HN

Judging from the description the accident would've happened either ways.

temuser Apr 5, 2018 View on HN

woah. did not knew just because of a line accidents may cause.

The car crashed. Sounds like a pretty strong consequence to me.

Try repeating this assertion after getting into a car crash yourself

Not sure it'll make you feel better but the initial accident in this case was caused by a human driver.

Man, that's terrible. What happens if this hits while you're driving?

dzhiurgis Sep 20, 2021 View on HN
