My first car accident

[Cataholic]

I am confused by your two posts. You said this:

I zoned out. I've never done that while driving and it will never happen again.

Then this:

Yes, zoning out is scary, it's only happened to me a few times though, it doesn't happen frequently luckily. It happened to my brother too and he got in a rear-end accident. .

Which is it? You zone out sometimes or this was the first time? This happened to your brother, too? Is this hereditary? That just puts panic in my heart. I walk all the time with my child, he on a bike, me on foot. What if this would have been one of the times you "zoned out", as we were crossing in the cross walk in front of your car??? Is this a medical condition? Doesn't this freak you out? I couldn't imagine driving my car knowing I could "zone out". To me, this is as reckless as drunk driving.

Of course, I am glad you were not hurt. But, to continue driving while admittably having this problem seems pretty wrong, IMO.
