Bingle!

Sigh. My first car accident. Bell Street. 11 am. Some arsehole pulls out into the middle lane from the left in order to avoid parked cars and the car in front of me brakes to avoid him. At 60 kph there wasn’t much I could do to avoid hitting him up the arse. Then a lady in a 4WD whacks into the back of me for good measure. Two almighty jolts. Check to see if Scout is OK. Yep. She’s doing better than me. In fact, she’s chewing on my wallet. How the hell did she get my wallet? I’m in shock (no injuries, although my back did get a bit of a jarring) but notice that my car is the only one with any damage. Typical. The boot doesn’t close. The front bumper bar is dented to buggery.

Crap, I hate that car. What are my chances of it being considered a write-off?

  1. Kinki, sorry to hear that! Good thing is it sounds like nothing happened to you guys; Forget the car, it can always be replaced. Take care!

  2. If the chassis is still straight, it won’t be written off. I’m terribly sorry about your accident, but very glad you and the lil’ munchkin are okay.

  3. Sorry to hear about the accident…But glad to hear that you and scout were unharmed…Sounds as they scout is going to be fine on rollercoasters if she didn’t even notice!!

    All your life up until this point without an incident is pretty good. I had my first at 16 or 17.

    I hope the car gets better too!
