The loss of my accidentinity


I lost my accidentinity

Where do I start?

I could start where I have been driving for three years and throughout these three years up to today I have never experienced a tyre puncture, I have never ran out of fuel basically I have never had my very own car trouble. Obviously I have experienced car trouble as a passenger but never my own. (some would say i had it coming)

Or I could start where I went to sleep with a heavy heart… I couldn’t explain why but I just really truly felt like crying. I had a couple of friends I had planned on calling after work, I intended to video call the Mr, I was even planning to write a blog post about why my friends should stop having babies. But for the life in me I couldn’t bring myself to do anything, I felt like nothingness….

So there I was on my way to work in good time, seat belt strapped minding my own business. Let me try as best as I can to explain. I was on the extreme left lane and there was another vehicle slightly ahead of me in the next lane, in the centre lane. Only he knows what he was thinking but out of the blue, from nowhere this man decided to turn left. Pause… you cannot turn left Sir, October Madness and Miss Polly are in the left lane trying to get to work... 

And so he hit Me and Miss Polly in the rear right passengers door. I drove on for about a metre and stopped Miss Polly.  SCREAM!!!!!

Poor Miss Polly


I couldn’t get out, I was just too scared of what I might see so i sat there for a while. Eventually I had to get out, a small crowd of people had surrounded poor Miss Polly and I. 

Sigh

I think I yelled at him a bit then the water works came rushing down. 

WHY!!!!??? I was just trying to get to work for crying out loud.

Had to use my shaky hands to write a statement (first accident first statement), an eye witness volunteered to also write a statement. The other gentleman (who even after hearing the policeman receive testimonies from eye witnesses saying the EXACT same thing I was saying) still insisted that I was hit while trying to pull a move that not even The Stig would pull.

The Stig - Top Gear

In conclusion the Policeman told this gentleman that according to what he had seen and heard the gentleman was at fault and things would have been a lot easier if he had just accepted blame for the accident. 

What am I grateful for:
-          Wonderful friends and family who say all the right things and are so supportive.
-          Friendly strangers who stopped by to say words of encouragement and support to poor teary me.
-          That no one was hurt or worse.
-          That Miss Polly is insured.
-          That God is forever faithful.
