I was in a car accident and totaled my Honda Civic. I was run off the road, because the other driver did not see me in his blind spot. He proceeded to pass the car in front of him as I was already next to him passing him on the left. Instead of staying in place and and have our cars impact each other I proceeded to go left and was run into the median with gravel, grass and a wire line that I hit and ran along until my car came to a rest blowing my front tire and totaling my car. If I would have moved right I would have been in a pile up, it was rush hour traffic and I would probably been dead. My air bags did not go off. I was very fortunate to not be seriously hurt. He was ticketed for improper lane deviation, not signalling, and not checking his blind spot.
Very scary situation when you think you have a safe vehicle and you find out otherwise in an accident you don't.
