Worst Day Ever!!- Say it aint so!!!

[Pittpa]

I imagine it would be alarming to someone who hasn't had something uncontrollable happen to them. I have only experienced this on my motorcycle, but I have gas permeable contact lenses and in NC we have this kind of pollen season where the world is covered in yellow pine pollen in March. If I don't catch it in time and wear my glasses and instead of pop in my contacts, sometimes pollen can sneak under my contacts and it locks my eyes shut it hurts so much. Super scary on the bike, trying to douse it and get to the side of the road before I-don't-know-what. I'm not in control of my eyes at that moment, and I need to get rid of all my speed safely. I imagine that's what it's like with uncontrollable sneezes.

I think anybody with a hint of this issue would benefit from the safe and sound package with the lane keeper and pre-collision braking.

You should probably not be driving a vehicle if you have sneezing fits. I might be the only person that holds this opinion. But if you randomly can't operate a motor vehicle WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. You should have your license revoked. Its a good thing you don't have a car. You're a danger to the general public. What if it was a person walking across the street? You couldn't stop in time. You're a danger.

You know, you are actually very correct in that comment. However, think of this for a moment; if you have ever had any kind of medical condition that could all of a sudden bring on a medicsl emergency I guess you also should not operate a motor vehicle. A sudden heart attack, brain aneurism, epilepsy, and many other ailments could bring on a sudden loss of control of your body, so maybe no one should drive. Even go as far as if you have a family history of heart disease you should not operate a motor vehicle cus your a risk of sudden heart attack. I feel that would be living in a gattaca world, where every specimen is perfect.

it’s not like you sneeze every minute and on a consistent basis. I can go months and not have a sneeze fit. Just one of those things man.

I’m sorry (not really) but this is an asinine comment. Like anyone can predict or prevent a sneeze (or several)?

Let’s start picking apart all the random things that happen to you that may inhibit your ability to operate a vehicle at some completely unknown random time and revoke your license as well. No license or car for you. Take a bus, ride a bicycle or walk but you have no chance at a license ever again for something that may or may not ever happen while you’re driving. See how dumb that sounds??

It was a frickin accident, they happen every day. I highly doubt the OP woke up and said yep, I’m going to go drive and have a sneezing fit and get in a wreck. Come on man, use your brain just a little bit.

Not to call anyone out, but I was thinking the same thing about some of the comments.

Talk about kicking a guy when he's down.

Comments like that really bother me. Like the guy meant to do it or had any control over it. Sometimes stuff just happens. Most that have commented here understand but there’s always a select few…

Agreed.

I can understand the concept of wanting all conditions...human and environmental to be perfect. Because in reality every time we drive we put our lives in the hands of complete strangers and vise versa.

But of course we live in the real state, not the ideal State.

Example: Most accidents are caused by Human error or stupid shit... But realistically we can't stop the entire state of Virginia and Maryland from driving Even though the bulk of humanity would be better for it

Hello; suppose a case could be made if random things such a sneezing fit could be predicted. Things catch us by surprise. A relatives wife back a couple decades was driving their new car. She was circling a mall parking lot and maybe was not going too fast. ( some folks drive too fast in those lots) Anyway a car backed out in front of her. She hit the brakes with, as the story was told, time to stop. But the brake pedal started to vibrate. She did not know such was the new to her antilock brake system. So, she let off the brake and had a fender bender.
No, I have not ever heard any logical reason for taking a foot off a brake pedal like that. I did unfortunately stop by for a visit not long enough after the husband just got the news about the new car. Wish I could retell all i heard in a brief visit but have repressed most of it. I did keep my mouth shut and left soonest.

I am half lucky. I am nowhere near Maryland. I am however less than ten miles from Virginia. Joke extended.

I look at it how we deal with epileptics. They have to hand over their licenses after the first attack. Honestly, the dude should get checked out. I have had sneeze fits before while driving. But I can fight the need to be dramatic. And fight to keep my eyes open. And I can't remember the last time something like that happened to me while driving.

Thought it didn’t look that bad

just visibly: bumper, hood, fender, possibly head light and turn signal.

This is the maximum I would ever call something a ‘fender bender.’ This doesn’t look ‘not that bad’ lol wtf you really ripped up that bumper

Hello; Some decades ago my brother had a minor accident in a late 80's Chevy Caprice. The visible damage was slight. Later on he discovered one of the doors would not open & close properly. It was a four door. These modern unibody cars are not like the older body on frame stuff I grew up with.

I guess most of us have had or been in a fender bender. I was riding in the back of a 69 Camaro and a friend of the owner was driving. Another friend was in a car in front and slowed down and pulled off the side of a 2 lane road. Will my driver pulled it back into 2nd and was going to blow by him. Well the other driver did a u-turn in front of us. My driver hit the brakes and turned to the left and plowed into the trees missing the hidden headlights (thank god right). You just never know what people are going to do in a car.

Damn. First time i've heard of a totaled car from a sneeze fit, but i can imagine it's not terribly uncommon. I remember when I was driving my mom's 2006 Miata back in the day (first sports car i ever drove, thanks Mom i got bit by the bug thanks to you) and being used to my barge of an old Mercedes sedan with recirculating ball steering and a school bus sized steering wheel, i switched lanes by accident from a sneeze, the steering on that car was next level twitchy and eager. Maybe keep the steering on comfort on your next one, has a bit more "play" in the wheel in that setting.
