Driving Pain.

Filed under: Hmmm

There you are, minding your own business driving along happily and then traffic comes to about a swift stop! You’re wondering, maybe even swearing a bit, what the hey, trying to see around the stopped line of cars before you, wondering why everything’s so slow all of the sudden. Perhaps, after 20 or 30 minutes, give or take 10 or 20, you finally see the problem. An accident. Not even on your side of the street. People are giving themselves whiplash from jerking their heads around in an attempt to see it, and yep, they are slowing down too. It’s a wonder whiplash claims haven’t gone through the roof. Although, they do seem to be on the rise all over.

So, while you’ve been driving recently how often did you have to slam on your brakes to avoid the dumb twit in front of you who braked for no good reason? Yeah, that could cause a bit of pain, especially if they stop suddenly and you rear end them. There are a lot of ways to get whiplash. As a driver, because of the overwhelming amount of clumsy and mentally dead drivers on the road you will see it or will experience it. You could get it from the example above just by turning your head at the wrong moment, or from slamming on your brakes or braking into the idiot ahead of you who’s staring at an accident instead of driving. The same idiot that is probably going to cause another accident for some other idgit to stare at while causing another accident.

It’s upsetting because even little things can cause major pain when driving. Mental pain from dumb drivers is a constant while driving, but physical pain is less so but really no fun when it happens; even a slight case of whiplash hurts. I know from first hand experience.
