> [@2gigch1](#): > > This year I have been struck by other vehicles 3 times in my work truck. In two instances the other driver has tried to claim it was my fault. One afternoon, I was riding a [Metro fishbowl](http://www.flickr.com/photos/transitalk/8293210392/) on my way home from work. We had just made [the right turn from Kenmore onto Walter Reed](https://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+South+Walter+Reed+Drive,+Arlington,+VA&hl=en&ll=38.854389,-77.088522&spn=0.006567,0.009356&sll=37.6,-95.665&sspn=53.791654,76.640625&oq=1600+south+walter+&t=h&hnear=1600+S+Walter+Reed+Dr,+Arlington,+Virginia+22204&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.854346,-77.088478&panoid=YSTcX9EpAGubQQkTUstcLA&cbp=12,0.59,,0,24.89) and were stopped mostly into the left lane [on Walter Reed while waiting to turn left onto Glebe](https://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+South+Walter+Reed+Drive,+Arlington,+VA&hl=en&ll=38.854665,-77.088447&spn=0.006567,0.009356&sll=37.6,-95.665&sspn=53.791654,76.640625&oq=1600+south+walter+&t=h&hnear=1600+S+Walter+Reed+Dr,+Arlington,+Virginia+22204&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.854538,-77.088466&panoid=tlmVc4pjnOhGGEeSacNl4g&cbp=12,20.75,,0,30.53). Dunno why but I looked up from my [Washington City Paper](http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/) and glanced over my left shoulder. There was a little, brown Japanese sedan behind the bus. Shortly after I went back to reading my paper, there was this godawful grinding noise. I looked up again and that little, brown Japanese sedan was now in front of the bus! The sedan had literally squeezed by the bus! And was now pinned between the bus and the curb! Yep, you guessed it: the driver of the sedan claimed the bus had hit _her!_ Fortunately for the bus driver, I came forward with what I had seen and heard. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-driver-gets-his-comeuppance/668124)._
