Car Accident
8 years ago
I got in a car accident on the way home from work on the 16th. I was driving home from work late and night a truck stopped at the intersection I pulled up behind him, then he sort of stayed there for a min I started to wonder what he's doing and suddenly he puts his truck in reverse and backs into me. He drove past his driveway and didn't see me behind him. He stopped when he hit me but the front end of my car is ruined.
Now the real shitty part about this is since the damage is on the front end of my car he can say I rear ended him. I am absolutely terrified that I might haveto court over this. I don't have collision because I'm an idiot who used the won't happen to me I'm a good driver excuse. I haven't even been able to get a HOLD of his insurance yet. I got the details and made a police report but it feels like their just trying to delay as much as possible. Which means I'm stuck with borrowed vehicles and taxi's to go to work till anything happens.
To really top things off work just keeps asking more and more of me every day lately. To an absurd level. I'm doing a full shift in the kitchen then doing 4-6 hours of unpayed overtime after that. Since my Health and Safety officer job "is a second job" on the same cheque from the same employer.
I just feel like screaming, I don't really know what to do. I'm going to look for a new job soon, but things are just complete garbage right now.

Calm down and get some rest then think about this. Maybe you could use public transport to get to you job or find some work near your place. Also, he could have a videoregistrator you could use in a court. So, thinks are not so bad, you'll have to get things over and you'll make it. Good luck, Grey!

Public transport where I live is almost non existent, We got a bus recently. It does a circuit about... twice a day...? I think...? I've only seen it twice now over the course of the year its been in place. As for working closer I'm on the far end of the residential side of town the restaurants are on the opposite side of town. But if I get a better job I'd honestly love to move closer to where I work. I miss riding my bike to work. Its been almost a decade since I could do that. But yeah thanks for the well wishes ^.^
