careless whispers driving
i finally did it.
managed to put a guy in the hospital due to my shittyass driving.
i've always felt like it was a matter of time. i'm just so very thankful that my kids were not with me.
somehow, the front passenger side of my car met with the rear drivers side of his car and the next thing i knew, the back end of his vehicle went straight up in the air.
i know exactly what a 4.runner looks like from the underside.
i don't know if it caught wind or just the momentum of things but it rolled 3 times before finally coming to a rest on the drivers side.
the guy had to be cut out of his car - something very traumatic to watch.
the whole time, i was just sitting on the guard rail watching it all unfold.
there was no blood anywhere. i knew through my uncontrollable emotion that meant that there were no facial lacerations or anything like that.
but was he fucking alive?
you would have thought that they were dragging the p0pe out of the car with how things were shrouded.
i've only seen that done at accidents where someone died.
when the cop finally came and talked to me, i was unable to really recollect what happened. did i merge onto the highway following the guy or did he pull into the lane ahead of me or what the fuck?
even this morning, i really have no clue.
but the cop did tell me that the guy did not sustain any life threatening injuries. he was being taken to the hospital for a "routine exam following an automobile collision."
regardless, i've been charged with careless driving. the estimated damage to his piece of shit 4.runner is $10k. they are estimating the damage to my car at $5k.
and i even get to pay for the guardrail damage - $4k.
when the r0ad.ranger guys were cleaning up the glass and car bits out of the lane, they were joking about how "that buick is built like a brick shit-house! she's going to be able to drive that thing home and look at us, sweeping up what's left of that t0y0ta.."
and that's exactly what i did.
drove my car home with the front passenger headlight demolished and a cut in my hood the size of a mail slot.
i was too fucked up about it all to take a photo of my car once i got home but you know, it will follow.
heh..
owww..
my aching back and neck..
EDIT - the photo of my car and it's minimal damage
