I was always taught to go big or go home. So when it comes to car accidents, I always want to either crush the opponent's vehicle or have mine torn to pieces, you know, makes things more interesting (just kidding). This past Thursday, I got into my first car accident...
For those who don't live in Jersey, Thursday had some periods of intense rain, all the cars were doing 20 on streets with speed limit 40, and it was really scary. I had just dropped a friend off at a local train station. Since it was pouring at that time, I didn't park in the parking lot and have my friend walk to the building and get all soaked, so I parked on the side of the street (legally, there are parking spots there). Friend got off the car, we said our goodbyes, all is well. All of a sudden, I turn away from my friend and look forward, and I see this car coming towards me, and it hits me head on. Keep in mind, it wasn't somebody trying to parallel park and scraped my car, nor was it somebody trying to pull some cool car stunt like those in movies... I was parked on the opposite side of the street (the street had 2 lanes going each way with an extra "lane" for parking on each side), and got hit head on, bumper to bumper...
Can it get more ridiculous? Yes. Got out to talk to the driver, and got her information... The car she was driving was not even hers. It was her mother's. It wasn't even her mother's, it was her mother's rental. And according to her driver's license, she's not at the legal age to rent cars yet. She says she doesn't want to report to insurance company (I wouldn't either if I was her), and we got each other's info and we'll see how this is gonna turn out.
