Not a Prius, not even a Hybrid

This post is about the ultimate dumbass. But it was a dumbass in a Dodge Caliber. This bitch took me out on the Bay Bridge on my way to work. I was riding my Moto Guzzi in the fast lane, when this white Caliber started coming into my lane. I grabbed a handful of brakes and skidded, but maintained control. Then she swerved back into her lane. So I went to pass her, and as I was passing, she swerved all the way into my lane, right into me. I went down at about 50 mph. My bike was partially on top of me as I slid down the fast lane. Fortunately, I had on my full face helmet, my ballistic nylon jacket with armor and my leather gloves. But even with this protection, my hand was pinned under the bars and the asphalt wore through my glove and partly through my hand. Ouch. The bike crushed my left leg (it weighs about 500 lbs) and broke my fibula. My first broken bone ever! On the right side, I ended up with a fractured ankle, a fractured toe, and two dislocated toes. So now I can't walk. I can't even use crutches. The only way I can get around right now is by wheelchair.

Thanks a lot, moron!!!
