Well THAT sucked. First accident - which is funny since I am the one with 1 whole ticket .. Butch is racking up tickets a.most to the point it's almost not funny - but they are only $20 each time so it could be SO much worse.
BUT who has the first freaking accident? ME! How you ask? Well, I was zipping off the freeway on my way to work, traffic was moving along just fine. I look over my shoulder to see if the light has changed on the top of the overpass, turn back and YIKES!! the guy who had been trucking right along had come to a dead stop. YEP... I slid right into him. He of course wanted to call the police. Fine... I learned I don't have a good number for the military police. I never did get in touch with them, but I did just take my lumps and the police were nice and I had to pay a fine of $35 (these prices are all in Euro, but I don't know how to make this do euro signs...).. and turn it all over to my insurance. So - what damage was done?
Uh, VERY little, thank you very much.
Yes, this is during the actual accident time... I'm sitting in my car waiting for the police to show... ugh!!!
do you see any damage??? Nope, me either... the license plate is slightly bent in the middle on the left side and there is a tiny bit of a scratch on there too but majority of the scratches were there prior to the accident... so it is what it is... sigh.
top scratches were from me on another incident (we won't talk about it, but the house is fine - damn stucco)... the lower scratches are from this little "run in".
his car - you can see where the dirt was removed as it pushed the bumper in and there is a tiny crack on the top of the bumper where the finger marks are. OK, fair enough. Yeah... I could have done that easily.
AND I slightly popped it off the clips... so yeah... that was me too, I'm sure! Whoops. If it's like when I was hit in the butt and part of my car did this, they simply pop it back on and you're fine. So maybe this is my Karma for taking the money when the little airman hit me years ago? Who knows....but fair enough, I did hit him...
So I turned it all over to the insurance and now we see if my rates go up really high. I hope not... but we'll see.
