Shaken, not stirred. A bad day.

24*, 66% humidity, ESE3 mph wind, fair

My first (and hopefully only) car accident happened today. I've never had a speeding ticket, I've never had a parking ticket. I'm a safe driver. I had the right of way, its a long street with a few side streets going off of it. Well some guy came barreling out of this side street and right in front of my car. I didn't have time to stop. WHAM. The car hit his right in the center. OMG. I've never been so scared in my life. A cop was there almost instantly. Within seconds. It took me a few seconds to gather my wits and move the car to the side. I hit hard enough that my glasses flew off my face. I found them on the floor. Got out and made sure I was working properly. Just shaken, and shaking.

The guy claimed he stopped at the stop sign. But he was going too fast to have been stopped a moment ago. There is no way he couldn't of seen me coming if he'd stopped to check for traffic as its a long street and it wasn't like I was coming around a corner. To make matters worse, he doesn't have insurance. He told the cop he'd JUST bought the car that day and JUST happened to be on his way to get insurance. Yeah....whatever dude. I don't think Mr. Cop bought that one either. Both the guy and his passenger were out walking around even before I was out walking around. They seemed unhurt. After the cop was done talking to us his passenger changed her story and said her shoulder was hurt and she wanted an ambulance. She may very well have been hurt, I don't know but she'd been moving around just fine and hadn't been on the side of the collision.

The whole front of the car is messed up. I feel like crap, I have a headache the size of Texas....


NOT a good day.
