Got into an accident last nite

making a right turn at a stop sign... i stopped to check everything... and made the turn when it was clear... then suddenly a guy came running out from my right... and the next thing i knew i ran over his legs... there were a lot of ppl there that saw they whole thing... since it was downtown (around bloor and church area)

i was so scared... trembling all over... i thought i killed the guy... but the policy placed no charges, since it wasn't my fault (from the statements given by the witnesses)...

now I just need to calm down and drive cautiously... don't think I'll be driving these couple days though...

also, i'll need to find a place to fix the dents on the front right panel of my car... do you guys know where i should get it done? ... i only heard about dent doctor.... any help appreciated... thanks...

Ouch! Hope you and that guy are ok. You actually ran over his legs? Damn that gotta hurt. Well, try not to think about it too much it's just gonna make you feel worse. I got a ticket last week and I knew I did nothing wrong and I couldn't stop thinking about it for like a week, just let it go and drive safe.

What a stupid f**ker!! I can't believe he jumped out in front of you like that.. what the f**k was he thinking?!?! Man... that sucks that your car got damaged. You must be pissed!!

If you had a Mustang, I'd tell you to put her in reverse and do a brake torque on his stupid ***... GRRR [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

I hope you feel better about everything soon though. And don't forget, it's just a car.. you won't be taking it to the grave with you. Get it fixed and everything will be back to normal.

Chill out girl.

It's not your fault. that's 30 points for a crackhead, 50 if he was drinking a 40 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]... I know bad joke, but it was out of your hands. Get back behind the wheel as soon as possible before driving becomes a phobia to you..

thanks guys... (by the way, for those of you who think i'm a girl... i am not.. it's just "wooman" was my old BBS alias... and didn't bother thinking up a new one...)

i tried calling the traffic officer today, but the guy that answered said he won't be in till next thursday afternoon... hmm...

i think now i am a bit mad than sad... cuz i just got a quote from the body shop (dad drove it to get quoted since he was off today) ... and it's going cost $300 to fix the two dents on the front right panel.... !!!! first of all it wasn't my fault... now i have to fork out dough to fix car... grrrr... talk about emotional rollercoaster!!

i think i am ok with driving on the road... i'll give it a try tomorrow morning... since less traffic... and need to get a quote from dent doctor to see if they are cheaper... cuz spending $300 on two minor dents is not cool... anyway, just wanted to vent...

Poor you! Don't think about it too much! That is why I hate driving downtown. I am from Montreal and I rarely drive downtown, because people over here are crazy when they drive or the pedestrians don't know how to walk! So, if I can avoid using my car in stressful environments, I would do so!!!!!


ciao!
