Default why to drive a ram (2nd crash in my truck)

well last friday night, i got in a crash with my truck. (had this same exact scenario happen about the same time last year). was on my way home, sitting at a red light at a 4 lane intersection. light turned green, so im pulling through, made it across 2 lanes, then SLAM. suv t-bones me and spins me completely around. had the same accident last year, everything the same except 1 lane intersection. both times made it out alright and the other person left in an ambulance. Thank God, and thank dodge for building the ram the way they do.

First I would like to say,Gladyou made it out alright with no scratches.To bad for the other driver,he/she should have been more patient.These trucks are tough.I had 2 rear end accidents in my previous 02.No airbag deployment on either but the car I hit was just left completely demolished but she was ok.These trucks were made just right,to protect the driver at any cost.

Just my motto i would like to post
"It is better to be late to where your going, than to be early to your funeral"

man that sucks about ur truck. I may come across as a dick but if I was you I'd tell the person as they were leaving in the ambulance it serves them right. I feel no pity for idiots when they get hurt in automotive accidents when it is blatantly their own stupidity and ignorance that gets them hurt. IMO it's darwinism and natural selection at its finest. I dunno what I would do in that situation I usually am not an angry person but when it comes to my car I go ballistic

If I hit the gas as soon as the light turned green here in Miami, I wouldn't make it 10 blocks. I travel all over, live in diff places, and I've never seen it as bad as it is here.

Man you are lucky to be walking, I hope that you are fine and your pride in tack. Here in Korea traffic lights are mearly a suggestion... I was rear ended by a fully loaded (Passenger wise) at a RED LIGHT!!!! in my 2004 Jeep Liberty Renegade. He hit me at about 40 to 45 mph and knocked me into the guy next to me and plowed into two other cars that were in front of me... When all was said and done my rear of the Jeep was at the rear of his bus... If I was able to move I would of grabbed him and slam his head into my grill....

A big plus for MOPAR!!!! I got a Grand Cherokee to replace my Liberty and now I got my Ram.
