Can't Let The Little Things Bring You Down!

Well Friday afternoon on the way to Chotard my partner and I were involved in a wreck on I20! We were cruising along in the slow lane and ended up passing a car that was in the fast lane. I guess the lady driving decided she needed to get over in the slow lane and she drove straight into my boat! My partner Steve did an excellent job holding the truck on the road as the boat trailer was jack knifing all over the road. He was finally able to get the truck stopped in the median. Now for most this would spoil anybody's fishing weekend but not us! Within minutes another MCC member was pulled over behind us helping take all my gear out of the boat. Another fine member of MCC loaned us his boat and after three hours on the side of the interstate we were headed on our way. You never know what can happen at any given moment! It could have turned out allot worse. My trailer is definatly totaled and the boat has received some damage. I'm about to get on the phone and start the process!

Did she have insurance?

Hope all turns out well for you. That sure stinks.

I was not supprised a bit by the help you got from fellow MCCers, that's the way this bunch rolls. Glad ya'll weren't hurt.

Yes she has progressive insurance same as my boat.

glad nobody was hurt .....good luck on getting things fixed right

OUCH!!!!! Hope it gets put back together better than new.

Now for the tuff love portion of the post:


Knuckle head. Your high school driver's ed teacher would give you a swirly for passing on the right.

Wannabe....

I'm glad nobody was hurt and that the damage wasn't worse. Help is only a phone call away with the people in MCC and with the C.com folks.

WB where do you suggest passing? If a car is doing 60 in the fast lane and the slow lane is open?

Glad you guys were not injured. The boat isn't really that big a deal!!!!

Wow thank goodness you guys didnt get hurt or anyone else for that matter. Good to hear fellow members were willing to stop and help out, just goes to show how good people really are. Then again its a Southern thing as well. Thumbs Up

WOWWWW. Just glad ya OK Hugh. COULDA been real bad

Wait till they move to the right. Otherwise, they'll assume no one is there and come over in your lane on account of folks ain't supposed to pass on the right. 2 swirlys fer you for questioning me.

Heck, it's so important, they even made a law about it.

63-3-609. Overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in same direction.


63-3-613. Overtaking and passing upon right of another vehicle.

I suspect that the feller who wrote that law had a boat plum rurnt on an interestate. :)

3 swirlys for you for making be google it.

Just do like most idiots do- Ride on their tail until they move over.

passing on the right, sounds like it's just as much his fault as the other persons...Better hope insurance don't think about it too long....

Bump Draft. They will get the message Thumbs Up Glad you are ok.

Glad you made it through this, Hugh. Steve,too. What a way to start the day.

I bet the little old lady looked over to the right and was totally blinded by the UGLY. Thereby loosing all sense of where she was driving. Sure hope the insurance co. dont ask you two to take a purty test, your bound to fail.:cool: Now on a serious note, sure glad you guys were not hurt and were able to make it to the tourney, the boat can always be fixed or replaced.
