If you’re following me on twitter, you might have seen this tweet from earlier today.
Which involved this:
And a whole lot of internal swearing.
Not our fault – not the lady whom we hit’s fault either. Instead, it was a truck who caused the accident and then drove off, without checking on anything.
We’re really lucky, a witness stopped and waited for the police to arrive. He’d seen the whole thing, including the truck not giving way and the fact that we had no where to go.
I’m still shaky and so incredibly annoyed. The other lady’s insurance should pay for everything to be fixed (fingers crossed).
But, it’s stress I didn’t want or need and really, I’d just like to get through ONE tax time, without something major fucking up, or breaking, or dying, or needing to have lots of money spent on it.
Is that too much to ask?
Also, I know cars are designed to crumple, but considering the collision happened with our speedo showing no speed on it (so maybe, 2km an hour – we could see the truck driver being a dickhead and Nat reacted accordingly) – isn’t that rather a lot of damage to our car?
