Awww. I nearly had an accident yesterday when some kids pulled out in front of my truck on the highway. Lucky for them I was doing less than the speed limit so my slamming on the brakes actually slowed me down in time to save them a hefty insurance payout.

I've had my fair share of near misses over the past four years that I've had my drivers' license, I can imagine the shock you're going through. It'll be okay - it's up to you when you get behind the wheel again - when you feel ready and not a moment before.

*hugs*

Glad to hear you're okay.

Oh man, it's good that you're okay. Wish I could give you a real hug but a virtual one will have to suffice, stay strong. *big hug*

Been there...exactly how you described it. I was making a turn to clear the intersection and suddenly my air bag goes off, I was confused, dazed and pissed because It was a brand new car and not a cheap one either. The vehicle that hit mine was a black cavalier with NO RUNNING LIGHTS. it may as well been cloaked. My arm was burnt from the air bag chemical reaction exhaust, that was the only Injury thankfully. Scary at first but you re-gain your confidence over time. Unfortunately turning vehicles are always at fault in insurnace claims, even if somebody else runs the red light going straight, which is what happened to me. Yet I get the traffic ticket and crap insurance rates for another 4 years.

It took me a few days to get behind a drivers seat again, but I got over what happened. Now i prefer driving larger vehicles...I don't care about the fuel milage, you can't put a price on safety. Now when making a left hand turn I sit in that damn intersection until those oncoming vehicles have come to a complete stop when the light turns yellow.

It happens, we are only human and we all make mistakes once in a while. Glad you are alright though.

you'll be okay dude, I had 2 wrecks in 2 weeks not too long ago, first time some lady bonked the back of my car while playing on her cellphone, the other time I slipped in a puddle of water going like 60 or so and hit a concrete barricade, Im still nervous about driving too but look at it this way it doesn't sound like it was your fault so you were doing the right thing, it was that other person who dun goofed.

D: Glad you're ok.
I've been in an accident before. It was terrible. I couldn't stop shaking for hours.

Oh no!!! :( :(

I've been in a couple of accidents; the first one total'd my car, the second one just did some bumper damage. Once I took a corner too fast 'cause I was being dumb, lost control, and luckily swerved out of the way from oncoming traffic into a bush.

Point is, when flimsy little mammals get inside metal boxes and launch themselves across the planet's crust, sometimes they bump into each other.

Take it easy, let the shock wear off and let your head clear a bit. Sitting behind the wheel while it's parked in your driveway for ten minutes helps remind you that it's not that scurry, and is a good way to dissociate the event.

Many hugs little guy!
