The more crashes like this I see, the safer I feel in my car.

The bottom line as always: Tail will cost you, boys.

How do you report that accident? Even with a cell phone, I think it would take some time for someone to find them down there! Incredible that the injuries were minor. Interesting that the hood and trunk were just scratched..

Hmmm

"Was taking her to a view spot for, u know...neways."

That sounds downright dodgy. He might be doing 35mph, but was he doing any other activity beside driving while he should only be driving??

The "female" angle on this story is sounding really suspicious.
