Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

I was 22 and recently got my lisence. I had rented a Chrysler K car. I was talking to my mom at work who was in an accident on Monday(she was pulling into a Hess gas station and the guy behind her rear ended her and gave her whiplash). I went to go cash in my check and I got to four corners in Webster and for some reason hit the gas pedal instead of the brake and then for some reason hit it again and slammed into this poor woman's car. After going "NOOOOOOOO!!!!" and pounding on the steering wheel I went to see if she was alright. Her first words "My neck..."
When the cops showed up I offered to get drug tested and do an alcohol test. "Do you take drugs or alcohol? he asked. I said no. He told me to just take a seat on the curb and relax. They were more interested that a rental company gave a 22 year old a car (supposedly they're not supposed to) and the dealer was more mad about having a tow truck take the car to someone else's garage than they were about me wrecking thier car (they actually asked if I wanted another car ).
When the car was taken to the dealership my stepdad completed the disaster trifecta when he was servacing a Dodge ram that was idiling in the garage. He reached in to get the keys and it took off while he was hanging on the outside of truck. This poor woman witnessed her car which was just in for an oil change get slammed through the back garage door into a pair Shadows outside and get totaled. Fortunately my stepdad got the keys out and killed the engine before the truck slammed throught the other back garage door and kill him. All he ended up with was bumps and bruises.
