Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?
March 19th.

I wasn't driving. But yeah, no fun. My friend was taking me to work as a favor, and we got nailed by a minivan doing 50 mph on the driver's side. The driver's side of our car got ripped off, we spun around several times, and ended up knocking over and landing on an electrical box, as well as tearing a whole bunch of live wires in the box. Not fun... and somehow, the police officer tried to put all blame on us. Fortunately, it ended up being "no fault" on either side.

Somehow - I still don't know how - both of us managed to actually get up and walk out of the car. The police officers and EMTs were shocked, because they were pretty sure my friend would be dead, and me unconcious. Amazingly, my friend ended up with a busted up hand and arm, and I had a concussion, and whiplash.

I'm still flinchy when I'm in cars. No fun.
