Folks, we have a tale of the true testament of the human spirit. A Murfreesboro fender bender is making news for the absurd nature of a driver’s response to the incident. Personally, I would call it a story of true grit and determination.

Right before the light turns green, the reverse lights flash on the car in front of Steidinger, as shown on his dash camera video. The driver of a 2004 red Infiniti sedan backs into Stedinger’s Chevrolet Silverado.
“I got out and there was no damage. I knew he backed into me so I just told him that accidents happen,” Steidinger told News 2. “It’s no big deal and my truck’s fine. He’s like, ‘what are you talking about man you hit me.’ That’s when I was like that’s not what happened.”
You can see in the video that Steidinger points to his vehicle’s dash camera.
“He’s like ‘I’m glad you got the dash cam because that will show I didn’t back up,'” said Steidinger. “He said right away ‘I know you’ve got to go places we can exchange information right now if you want and be done with it.’ I said no if we’re going to exchange information I would like to have a police report done.”
Both men get into their vehicles, drive to a side street and wait for Murfreesboro Police.
The police report states that the driver of the Infiniti told the officer that he was rear-ended. The officer then watches the video and writes that the video contradicts the Infiniti driver’s statement.
Respect. Just fuckin’ double down on it dude. That’s a level of commitment I don’t know that I have for anything. This is the type of commitment that will stand in your face and tell you the sky is yellow. They just don’t make ’em like this anymore.
A play in one act:
“You hit me” – welp, we got dash cam footage, sir. What’s your response to that?
“GOOD IT’LL SHOW YOU HIT ME.”
Well, actually sir – I’m going to call the police.
“GOOD I’LL TELL THEM YOU HIT ME, TOO! EVEN IF THEY CAN JUST WATCH THE VIDEO!”
I wonder if shit like this ever works. Like, you go to the liquor store to buy your Corsair gin. “Sir, that’ll be $40.” “No it won’t. That’s free.” “Oh, you know what? You’re right. It’s free gin week.”
This guy is the exact opposite of the woman who reported her car thief boyfriend. This dude is actually ride or die ’til he die.
