OK. I'm just never going to drive again.

switch842Because it seems no matter where I go, I get in car accidents. Ugh.
Don't worry, we're all fine. This was a really minor fender bender at the gas station. I was sitting at the pump and the car in front of me decided to back up, for some reason. No damage that's visible at least. Just a little denting on the license plate frame. But since the other driver(s) didn't speak English too well, I ended up calling the cops cos I couldn't really figure out if they had insurance. They did, but no driver's license. How does that work? Anyway, I ended up not running the errands I needed to run and just came home. Hubby is going to try and come home early.
It's just...really? This makes 5 accidents in the 14 years I've been driving. Only one was maybe my fault, but most likely not. This is just getting annoying...
ETA: And while I was waiting for the police to arrive, I'm pretty sure I witnessed the tail end of a bank robbery and a possible car crash that ended it. There's a bank right across the street and two police cars went screeching into the parking lot. Then tearing out a few minutes later. Then 2 more police cars flew by along with an ambulance. Then the traffic on the main road started completely backing up. I think I'll be stalking the online local news sites for info...

Date: 2010-04-08 01:02 am (UTC)I used to enjoy being a passenger. But after my second accident (it was pretty bad), I'm just way too nervous not being in the driver's seat. I'm OK with my husband, but anyone else, I have to drive.

AND CRAP. That's a lot of accidents, bb.
