Thanks everyone.

Yep Micki, I am mad and embarressed. I can just hear my family now...You've got to pay more attention! But when there's a clear lane to merge into, who the heck comes to a dead stop in the merging lane on the interstate?!

My boss called to see how I was and tried to make me feel better. He said he was in that kind of accident to. A lady stopped at a yield sign when he saw it was completely clear to go and he slammed into the back of her.

No witnesses. But I knew I'd get a ticket. Always the car behind is at fault because your supossed to be far enough behind the other car to avoid an accident. But who the heck follows the 2 second rule getting onto the interstate in morning traffic?!

Anywho, I'm just upset. I know I'm at fault, but it still sucks. I keep replaying it wondering what I could have done differently because I honestly didn't see her. I was just merging over into a clear lane and boom.

I know I'm lucky...had I been going any faster it could have been much worse. *sigh*
