so i was in my first accident yesterday. mine was the middle car in a three car collision. I narrowly missed the first car only to be pushed into its rear by the car behind me. so much for braking on time.things i got out of it:
1. i can continue to shake even hours after the accident
2. driving behind a car whose brake lights do not work is a very bad idea. change lanes immediately even if it means you have to do a uie to make your right turn.
3. having a headache all of the next day is no fun. no fun at all. neither is a funny neck.
4. when talking to mum on the phone, never neglect to say it was a MINOR accident or you'll scare the living daylights out of her. do not neglect a concerned dad either.
5. walking into a police station is not as bad as it seems to be.

Hope you're ok now Deb! I'm yet to have my second collision. The first one I had was on my very first drive...I think I was 12 or something. I was coming back congratulating myself on master a clutch in only twenty minutes when I found myself facing a gate post too soon. I jumped on a pedal, any pedal would do right? Turned out to be the accelerator, and I took out the front left side of my mum's car on a gate post. I'm so smooth...
Good grief! I'm just glad you're ok!
