I'm glad you are ok and that's the most important thing to remember about all this.

I've been on the end of hitting people and not on purpose.

The first time was in Feb. and the weather was semi-crappy in the morning but towards later in the day it was fine....and I was taking my mom back home from shopping and all of a sudden a blizzard with snow every where can through and I was able to drive well and keep the car from sliding etc. until I came around the road on this highway and a cop had everyone taking this one exit...(b/c a 6 car pile up ahead) so I tried to slow down as best as I could and my car started to slide...I was so scared and I couldn't stop...I tried but I could, I hit the backend of this SUV and spun around I think once but maybe more and finally my car came to a stop and I had to move my car quickly out of the way b/c of on coming traffic.

After I got the car to stop...the snowing was flying and my mom got out of the car and went up to the car I hit and I was freaking out in the car...crying and just couldn't believe that this just happened. I finally got a grip on myself and got out to look at the front of my car...not a pretty site at all...his SUV...looked just fine...it had one of those ball things that you can tow things with and that's what hit the front of my car...I knew the guy..actually I take maps from my work to have them copied at his place...and I felt so terrible and he told me he was ok and I just kept asking him if he was ok and the cop then yelled at us to get off the highway...so he said we would talk on Monday (it was a Saturday) and I went to my mom's place and we filed a report. I didn't want to drive again for a long time, although I had to.

Let's just say I deal with that most times I'm at the copies place and his dog was in the car too but she was fine and not hurt or I don't think I would have forgiven myself.

My second accident was because of ducks.

Yep, ducks.

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon and I was borrowing a company vehicle because I had a yard sale and needed a van to transport my items from my house to my mom's place.

We were done with the yard sale and I had some things to drop off at my house and this was about 3:30 p.m. or so and I was driving just fine keeping up with traffic and all of sudden the guy in front of me slams on his breaks and I tried to hit the vans breaks as hard as I could but it didn't stop in enough time and BAM...all I thought was OH SHIT NOT AGAIN.

I think I might have hit the horn in the process of hitting this guy and my body moved quite a bit this time.

I got out and asked the guy if he was ok and he said he was and we pulled over to exchange #'s insurance, etc.

Well the damn ducks were still trying to cross the road. We tried to stop them and get them going in another direction but they didn't want to. The guy called the cops and said he was going to call them about the ducks but he lied of course and did it b/c of the accident.

So a lady cop came....asked me how fast I was going and I said 35 speed limit 35...and I told her he slammed his breaks on b/c of the ducks and I hit him.

She filed a report and I had to go back to work to drop off the vehicle and let's just say working in a small office and having this news go around isn't much fun. I ended up running into the guy at Petco about 2 weeks later b/c I was siting in for a friend who was showing her cats at Petco and he said oh you save cats and I save ducks...I really didn't need to see him again. I ended up having to pay the deductible for the van to get fixed since his car needed repaired but luckly that one didn't go on my insurance.

Anyway, I'm glad you are ok sorry about your car though.
