> A’ight **Loopydude** , I’m dying to know, why does this fucktard think he can sue you? If it went down like you said it did, he’d be found at fault. You can’t sue someone for an accident _you_ are responsible for.

Fucked if I know. In truth, I haven’t heard anything from the douchebag since, so I don’t know how that’s going to pan out. If he has any brains at all (a rather big “if”, I’ll concede), he would probably wait and see how the insurance companies are gonna call it. I suppose if I were at fault somehow (which I fucking well am not) maybe he’d figure, hey, I got a case. I dunno. Can you sue somebody because they verbally tore you a new asshole?

Now that I’ve simmered down since the accident, I’m more inclined to think the guy was talking out of his arse, so I’m going to try not to worry about it. But really, to get creamed like that and then be told we were at fault and we should be liable somehow…oh, man it still just _burns_ me. Even if he is a knuckleheaded gobshite, it just _pisses me off_ so much.

Gah, I gotta stop thinking about it or my b.p.'s gonna spike or something.

> Fuck, I’m getting flashbacks. Fenway, Riverway, Jamaicaway…oh, and that exit off of Storrow where you can either go to Kenmore Sq. or Riverway…they should just rename it all “DEATHWAY”

I hear you. I drive those roads all the time to get to my girlfriend (coming from Storrow Drive W to JP). I’ve gotten so used to all the twists and turns, and irrational intersections (or groups of intersections waaaay too close together, like around the Landmark Center - Boylston/Riverway/Park/Fenway/Brookline Ave) that I just sail through.

> For those unfamiliar, the Jamaicaway is a twisty road with two lanes in each direction, and traffic regularly moving at 40mph, oftentimes quite heavy, and it can’t measure more than 28 ft. curb to curb. Pretty much the only road in the whole city I won’t ride my bike on.

Don’t forget to mention that the lanes are very very narrow. And there’s no divider separating you from oncoming traffic. Therefore the nervous drivers in the left lane will edge to the right, away from oncoming traffic (because, really, all it would take is a mistaken flick of the wrist from an oncoming car to cause a head-on collision, and if everyone’s going +40mph, that’s no joke.) But when they edge to the right, they’re already a third into the right lane, and therefore being very dangerous.

Sorry, this has become a bit of a hijack. I can stop now 🙂

Oh yeah. You did mention it. Oops.
