Aparently your first one is the worst, this is what the woman said to me who stopped to help out. But to be honest with you I dont plan on having anymore, i didn't plan on having this one. It wasnt too serious and I am fine, no injuries but my car, Gerty, is now very poorly.
So what happened was I was on my way to work in Lightwater and was driving through Mychett when a car 2 in front suddenly slammed on its breaks. This is when everything started to go in slow motion, I slammed on my breaks and stopped in time to not hit the car in front, my bag was thrown off the passenger seat and all my stuff went everywhere and my ipod flew out of its little cubby hole. And I actually said "bloody hell that was close" then there was like 2 seconds of nothing which is the weirdest thing cos it was like time had stopped. The next thing was I heard the screech of tires and the sound of a guy going "SHIT" then WHAM a guy in a mercedes went into me at about 35-40mph.
The sounds are the things which scare me, like I can still hear them and the shock of knowing your car has just been hit. The crunch of metal and plastic just smashing into each other, its just awful, makes me get goosebumps. I realise now that I just sat there in total shock, utterly frozen, probably for way too long. The length of time I hadnt even thought about until I realised what actually happened in that time. I sat holding onto my wheel, half crying half repeating 'oh my god' over and over again, the guy who hit me pulled up next to me and asked me if I was ok about 10 times and the woman infront had parked her car and got out and was at my window telling me to calm down as I needed to get my car off the road. Thats got to be a minute and i should probably be embarrassed but i dont care, it was horrible. the force of it launched all my cd's from the little holder all over my car, jolted my back (already injured from a case of whiplash from a previous car accident) and through the casing around my radio flying through the air.
I mean imagine if in the 2 seconds I had stopped and leant to pick up my bag, I could potentially have smashed my head or .... wait there is honestly no point doing what if's. anyting could have happened. which is probably the scariest part.But yea anyway i finally snapped out of it and moved my car onto this long driveway, the woman in the ar infront was so lovely and was making sure I was ok, the guy in the car behind was panicking, his car was pretty smashed too. I finally stopped crying. Got both their numbers, the force of him hitting me had made me just hit the car infront but there was no damage.
My poor little car had all silver paint on the bumper and was all scratched up and also basically hanging off. I thought that was it, even though I thought that was terrible I thought that was it. On coming home and my parents investigating the car we found that in fact the boot had been smushed up a bit as all the carpet and shelfing in it had bunched up. Also my boot door doesnt shut and if my petrol tank has been cracked or anything my car is going to be written off!OH MY GOD.
if next week doesnt improve no one is ever gonna read my blog ever again cos its just gonna be the Unfortunate and Whiny Events of Tash Salmon's Life.
ok car accident explained. I'm scared now, I'm not gonna lie. So driving to college on monday will be fun...
