previous car accident
Not long after I purchased my current car (almost 2 years ago now), I was involved in a car accident. Funnily enough I wasn't all that far from home.
I had only turned onto the main street and before I knew it, someone had plowed into the side of my car.
Turns out the driver (an old man) didn't see me as he attempted to merge into my lane. He didn't see me coming down (he was originally parked on the side of the road) and decided that it was a good time to move.
It was lucky that I hadn't reached the top speed of 70km, I'm guessing the result would have been a lot different.
That was NOT the damage to my car but to the old man's. Which doesn't look half as bad as mine.
In the end, the cops came and fined the old man.
You know the irony of all of this? My partner now has the same make and model as this old man's car (no kidding). 5 months ago, his car had been written off and went shopping for a new car... -_-"
and you know what was annoying? right after I had the car damaged, not even a month, it was back at the panel beaters because my partner's neighbour (who btw can't drive if their life depended on it) reversed into my car and left some panel damage. Their excuse?
"I just didn't realise when i reversed out that you were that close". You know what was really irritating about it? the bitch has reverse sensors and apparently doesnt know how to use it. Which explains why she keeps reversing into everybody's car...
Recently I noticed some dickwack had reversed into my car and had bent my number plate. I fixed it, then it happened again!!!!
I give up.
my car is prone to accidents
time for a new one
