Had a car accident, my fault I think?
 

I ran a red light on my way to work and a lady hit me broadside. I didn't see the red light, it didn't register. I didn't even believe I did it until another driver told the cop I ran the light. This ruins my perfect driving record and did about $3,000 damage to my car and who knows to the other car. I still doubt it was my fault but two people say it was. :(

The other lady hit me pretty hard on the driver's side so she had to be distracted too but of course didn't admit any wrongdoing. :(

I went to work afterward, not hurt at all, but my co-workers tell me I should take painkiller at bedtime because I might be sore in the morning. I'll have to pay a $120 ticket and $500 deductible for my repairs. :mad:

OH Wiz, I'm so sorry.:eek::( I'm glad you were not hurt bad and the other driver, too.

Take care and let us know how you feel in the morning..:hug::hug::hug:

I would ask if there are any surveilance cameras from businesses that might have seen the accident. Or maybe I just watch to much CSI

Oh no! What a nightmare!

:eek:Oh, im so sorry. Car accidents stink, no matter who is a fault. I am glad you and the other lady are not hurt. :hug:

I'm so glad no one was injured. I hope the insurance claim goes smoothly. I've never been in an accident where I was at fault....but either way it's upsetting. I agree, you might be sore the following day. I know I was.

Wiz-

I hope you are feeling OK today but I suspect you know by your body that you were in an accident!

Very glad they you were not seriously hurt.

How are you feeling Wizzy? :hug:

Oh, Wiz!!!! So sorry to hear you had a car crash. I got T-boned on the driver's side once. Just know that your body is going to ache for awhile. Car crashes are physically and mentally traumatizing. Please take care of yourself. Sending you positive thoughts. :hug::hug:

I felt fine today but my ego is bruised. My car has six air bags and none went off. I have to meet with the insurance lady next week, how embarrassing. I can be very distracted driving and I was very tired because I had gotten up at dawn after closing the night before, then after an early morning sales meeting, I went for job testing and an interview for a local job. I zipped home, had lunch, freshened up and was on my way back to work for the closing shift. And I had worked on homework at home just before leaving. I know I was tired and distracted and it really scared me. I'm going to be much more careful as a result. Also, I feel like it was a blessing because it didn't hurt anyone but will make me change my driving habits. I was brushing my hair as I drove and that is considered distracted driving. Never again.

And all day yesterday and today my co-workers were sharing their stories of their crashes and tickets to make me feel better. They are so good to me, lol. They're the best.
