Its finally happened; Ive had my first car crash. I say car crash, it was more of a car scrape.
I was taking Mike home on the 11th, and it was one of hte side roads right near my house. It gets real icey real quick down there, and it had been rather cold the previous few days, and itd iced over a bit.
I turn to go down it, and theres always cars parked down the side, so I go over to the other side (as usual) to go around them. I go to talk to Mike, when he calls my name and points forward, and theres a car coming towards me on the same side; a quick bit of estimation, and I realise were not going to stop if were going forwards (and Im breaking by this point), so I swerve over to the side and scrape down the side of a parked car, missing the woman about to get in it by a few feet.
It was bloody scarey, and Mike said the first words out of my worth were "Fuck. Shit.", and the whole thing was made worse by a guy coming out of his house just down the road, who start shouting about how sick he is of 'you fucking boy racers', and how hed 'reverse the cunt over my head' if id hit his children. Not nice.
Luckily he calmed down after a while, and he said he knew I hadnt done it on purpose (weirdly, I didnt come across as the 'boy racer' type; funny that), and he helped the woman and me get off again after shed taken a few of my details.
In my state of shock, I actually didnt think to take any of hers, so that was the first mission I went on when I got home and told my parents, who were refreshingly ok about the whole thing. This greatly pleased me.
"Accidents happen". It helps as well, my sisters first crash mashed the front so badly they couldnt open the bonnet :)
Were dealing with the insurance as we speak, and Im sure Ill keep you in loop..
