Day 8 of the #bloggingchallenge from @tripode: Have you ever been in a traffic accident? What happened? Yes I have...
The first accident I was ever in took place while I was driving my roommate's car while working at Walt Disney World. He had an old "boat car" as my wife would call them:
Ok, so it wasn't that cool...and it was blue, but you should get the point. It was 1999 and the car was not. lol
I was driving to a store, turning left at a signal where there was one turning lane, as I remember it. When I turned, the car next to me turned, too. However, when they turned, they were now in my blind spot, so when I turned into the lane I need to, they're car hit mine. I pulled over, got their information and gave mine. It was no big deal...until about a year later, I get a call from my buddy...(by the way, the only damage to either car was a black streak on my buddy's car that we were able to wipe off as if it were crayon)...he tells me that the other person is blaming me for wrecking his car. Ahhhh nawwww....
I had to draw up a diagram of the street and write how the whole thing went down. Fortunately, because I lived there, the judge believed me more than the tourist...which I was in the right and they were in the wrong...but still, it was a situation I didn't want to put my buddy into and it sucked having to do it. I was just lucky that my buddy's car wasn't harmed and neither was I. Crazy first wreck, but better that than a broken limb or worse...
Have you been in an accident? What happened?
