| What's with all the accidents today?
Went to lunch around 2:30 and was in the restaurant eating and spotted an accident outside (kingsway and windsor st) apparently a red corolla rear-ended a dodge then both exchanged insurance info and saw the cops stopped to see what's going on.
Going back home before 41st and earles) saw another accident, this one is a corolla and an suv. corolla has the whole front bumper ripped off and there was an ambulance and an undercover car.
My hunch is ppl can't drive in the rain? Or maybe talking on the cell phone while driving? But this is vancouver, ppl should get used to driving in the rain.

1st rain in a long time, vancouver drivers forget how to drive in the rain after prolong periods of sun. When snow comes it'll be awesome. Posted via RS Mobile | |

u damn right idiots cant drive in the rain, not knowing leave bigger distance in between cars instead tailgating the fuck out of each other.
Sounds like a great outcome  | |

My car was hit on left front fender and left door today. ICBC inspection on Tuesday. 
I am wondering when it is considered total loss, do i get to take my aftermarket parts back (lip, wheels, etc)?
Or do they take the vehicle on the spot right there?

Spotted a taxi van wrapped around a telephone poll on Granville St last night. Went into downtown and I spotted a Lexus with the entire right side smashed.

yea i dont get what the deal is with vancouver drivers. it's one to slow down in the rain, it's common sense. but to slow down to half of the posted limit and brake at random occasions... raises an eyebrow.

Its the rain + leaves on the ground. Makes for very slippery roads. Drive safe people.
