Have you witnessed a lot of automotive accidents?

It happens to me once every few months, sometimes more frequently. Yesterday I heard it behind me and looked in my mirror just in time to see a motorcycle sliding across the shoulder and the guy popped up in the air and landed so hard he bounced and rolled.

I'm always the first person to run out and check on the people. I never mind helping but I usually roll out before the ambulance and police get there because that's when it gets weird.

Thank the gods he was wearing his helmet and leather riding gear or he'd of been shredded. His boot was literally shredded ☹

It's been this way since I was little. My mom would always stop. The first one I remember is seeing a woman jump out of a moving van. It looked like a pile of laundry flew out the door and exploded all over the road. That one messed me up.

I am kinda desensitized by it now but I still find it really strange I'm often looking at it as it happens.

I haven't seen many, although yesterday my car saved me by jamming on the brakes as a van I thought was giving way (yielding) sped behind me as I was reversing from a parking bay in the town centre.

I've always thought that if a driver regularly sees accidents occurring in their rear-view mirror, they might consider if they have done something to cause it.
