What the hell!? Why....

I'm driving to work today and I notice this Nissan Sentra...look at what their bumper reads....why

Something else I wanted to add is that this person went from going 65 mph in the third lane to going 65 mph in the fast lane...that might be why they've been rearended so many times...just a thought...

Do they make that sticker with other lower numbers too, or do you have to wait for the fourth time and then its like "OK you qualify, now here is your sign"?

DMV isn't strict about who can get a license. CHP doesn't enforce rules evenly across the board. The state officials don't give a shit because most of those fools don't drive much or have a driver. The list goes on...

At least put it on straight and in the center of the bumper..

Isn't 65 the top speed for a Sentra?!

My old neighbor was rear ended 3 or 4 times and always blamed everyone else. I'm sorry, I drive 50-60k a year and have never been rear ended which makes me believe this person had something to do with it (yes, i know almost all the time it is the fault of the person who hit the car in front but...)

OP, why would you put that sticker on your car, let alone post a picture here to show off about it?

I was rear-end four fucking times in less than 24 months, All four times either at stop sign or red light.

So your theory is

the moral of the story is, i need a bumper sticker with the number 2, not four, and instead of saying "back off" it should read "pay attention"

He probably cuts people off or finds some other creative way to put himself in position to cause an accident.

^^^ or he's just an idiot. We have lots of those in L.A. We also have a lot of people that feel like they are the only ones on the road and do as they want.

The way a person drives is a good indicator as to the kind of person they are IMHO.

Did the thread title make anyone else think of Caddyshack?

Do you make a habit of waking under ladders? Cause that's some bad luck. Sorry to hear it.

Out of curiosity, did you get progressively more angry with each accident or could you just sit back and laugh at the situation?

The first two were like , the third time I was pissed, the bitch didn't even care that she did it, she was pregnant and trying to make it all about her. I was, bitch YOU hit me. Then the cop was female as well. Last time was a short visit to the hospital for a xray.

Was the driver an old guy? Reason I ask is I noticed the gaudy eagle license plate frame and the blind spot mirror stuck onto the side mirror. Plus old people generally don't give a f*ck at their age and would drive around with that kind of bumper sticker on their car.

Depends on how much and where you drive. If you drive 6000 miles a year and in a small town then 4 times is a lot. If you drive in a busy city it is more likely to happen.

I have been rear-ended twice. Both times the other driver was not paying attention. The first time it was at a stop light and the other driver was a friend of mine that was following me. He was switching radio stations. No real damage was done though.

The second time it was at a stop sign. The other driver could have been distracted by the 6 kids in the mini-van he was driving.

Yeah lol the driver must have been in his sixties....thats what I was thinking too...if it were some younger person they probably would NEVER put something like that on there car (but you never know) whereas an older person probably does not give a f*ck...Lol

Mostly the latter. People really just don't pay attention to what's ahead of them.

I drive roughly 20,000 miles a year, but I live in a small college town. That may have had something to do with my disbelief (or maybe I just haven't been driving long enough).

Errr on the other hand my first week of driving I tapped my friend's bumper and not long ago my girlfriend was this close to side-swiping me. Maybe being rear-ended four times isn't as outlandish as I originally thought.
