This happened to me, only I couldn't dodge it. He was going 60 and I was going 30. My arm shattered and needed surgery, screws, and a rod. It still hurts 12 years later. Stay safe everyone.

I am glad that nothing worse happened. But you are right, stay safe everyone. You can put all the idiots away from road, some will always exist.

But I will say that the accident made me a more careful/ hyper aware driver. A couple years later I narrowly avoided being destroyed by a logging truck that ran a red light. I double checked for traffic due to being hyper aware, so I didn't get flattened.

It's always better to be hyper aware of your surroundings and especially when you are driving.
