Second Car Accident

My second car accident wasn’t as exciting. I was driving to work in my dad’s car. I was 16. All the sudden I heard sirens. I pulled over to the side of the road with all the other cars, so the police could drive by. They did. I checked that it was ok to get back on the road; it was, until an old man came speeding by me and hit the front of my dad’s car. The man did not stop. He kept right on moving. I was so mad. I got to work and called the police. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the license plate number or anything. So, the guy got away with it. I told the police officer what happened and she said that she was just running her sirens so she could be heard, what she meant was she was doing it because she had nothing better to do. So, besides the stupid old man who couldn’t drive. The cop was just fooling around. With the two combined I had my second car accident. This one was not my fault. My dad still has this dent in his car today.

Old drivers eh? I wouldn't be surprise if he didn't even realise he'd hit your dad's car in the first place.

That was unfortunate. Now I know how important it is to get the plate number of vehicles in a car accident. What was your dad’s reaction when he saw the dent? I bet he immediately got on the phone with his insurance claims agent to report what happened. I hope everything turned out well in the end.

I read your first car accident and it led me to this story. Anyway, I would surely be upset if I were on your situation. You gave way to the police, and that’s what you get from doing it? Your car got hit, the driver slipped away, and the police did nothing. That was really awful on your part. The next time you come across such accident, you have to get the plate number of the car, so you can at least do something about it even if the driver tries to run away.
