I walk to the DZ, so I don't have this problem. I do have to watch out for cars trying to run me over, though. Especially after dark on the way back home.

Pull.

I hit a Kangaroo on the way home one night, don't have any pictures but damn that was messy, 6.5G's to fix, lucky it was a work car

Cheers,

I've never had an accident going to or from a DZ, but I have plenty of speeding tickets while enroute to a DZ...

On the way home from our boogie last year....

An oncoming truck splashed so much water on my windshild I was blind - and it caused me to hydroplane at the exact same time... My lane was nearly dry until all the water came over the rail.

I turned 90 degrees and slid bumper first into the guard rail. Threw a bunch of sparks and was one of the most impressive 4th of july fire work shows I have seen in a while considering it was night... All cosmetic damage to the 4runner, airbags did not even go off. But still $4,000 of damage.

I am lucky to be alive, considering my auto was moving 55MPH sideways until it came to a stop. It could have flipped or bounced or anything - or if the guard rail changed or a pole or something, I could have been impaled or something..

Now when it rains real hard, I choose the far right lane, not the left.

Yeah, but it was funny!

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Not to a dz, but from a dz... Did about $9K+ worth of damage to my pickup in front of the Perris dz... I was hit, almost head-on, by another car...

Leaving the DZ as well, Keely. Remember when the new stop signs were put in at Case Road (and Goetz)?

The truck didn't stop and t-boned my beautiful Mustang. Totaled it. Wrecked my neck for 6 months.

WHat an idiot.

You should have taken a picture on your mobile phone ,it good idea when you make a insurance clam ,not if it's your fault

The point of no return what a rush.

Yep. Here's the result of a drive home from the DZ about 8 weeks ago. Not as impressive as yours, but still DZ 'related'

I hope that was a Traffic warden you hit

Shit , thats a good point.

We were like a couple of a second, if that from colldiing, yet there was a car next to us slightly ahead about a split second away from a collision.

That sucks, Lori! I remember your Mustang, but I didn't know it had been totaled. Glad to hear you weren't hurt any worse than that! (Though 6 months of neck pain isn't too much fun. )

And I remember when those stop signs were put up. I almost ran one too, because the road was sort of dark and I wasn't expecting a stop sign to be there.

Yep. 7 weeks ago my teammate and I were in his 4 month old car (silver car in pictures) and were hit by someone not looking. We then found our way to a utility pole that hurt quite a bit.

Here is a picture of my '98 Mustang after the wreck.

Interestingly enough, 3 1/2 years later, I went test driving the '06 Mustang GT today. Now....can I resist temptation....

So far I've gotten one traffic ticket going _to_ the DZ. It was in the next
small town east of the one the DZ is in, and was a speed trap - I got
busted about three feet past the 45 MPH sign - but the rest of that is
for Speaker's Corner.

I also did some minor damage leaving the DZ once. I was going a bit
fast on a gravel road when an oncoming car came over the top of a hill.
I tried to move to the right and overdid it; dropped the right front wheel
into the ditch, bent the bottom of the front fender behind the front wheel,
and scratched up the rocker panel. No damage to the running gear.

I've gone to a DZ that is a ~4 hour drive away a few times, but I've
driven that load a _lot_ and I know where the speed traps are.
Consequently, I don't get tickets on that drive.
