Bang!

I got into yet another car accident today! I was on the off ramp about to head to the tolls when I had to come to a full stop for traffic. I left a lot of room between myself and the car in front of me. For some reason, I take a glance at my rear view mirror and notice that the car behind me is head straight towards my car at full speed while the driver is looking towards his passenger seat. My jaw dropped and I panicked. I swerved my car towards the left and hit the gas to get out of the way, but he was coming too fast. He hit me smack on the right hand side of my car's bumper! If it wasn't for my swerving to the left, I would have hit the car in front of me because the sheer distance my car flew forward due to the impact would have most definitely closed the gap between myself and the other car (and who knows what else may have happened).

I was in complete and utter shock. My nerves were frazzled, but luckily I wasn't injured. The guy's car was completely smashed in on the front left side. People were stopping to stare, especially since it was morning rush hour traffic. The state police came very quickly since it was part of an interstate highway. The guy who hit me didn't ask me if I was alright and didn't even apologize. What a jerk! The only satisfaction I get out of this is that it's COMPLETELY his fault, that his car is damaged more than mine and that he will have to pay for my damages. Ha ha ha.

What stinks about this whole situation though, is that within the last month I had my car bumper replaced because of ANOTHER car accident I had during earlier in the summer. Now the damage to my new bumper is even worse and my transmission may have been hurt by the accident too. And I'll have to go through all the insurance nightmares again. I'm sure that's the last thing I need with a 15 page paper, a presentation and a big publishing project due in the next couple of weeks. Please pray for my poor frazzled soul!
