Ever been in a car accident before?
Yesterday, I was in my first (and hopefully last) crash. Worse, I was the cause.
Returning from uni on a narrow section of the Oxely Highway, I moved to the outside of a corner to allow a wider vehicle to pass through. However, I over-corrected and placed two wheels off the grassy verge and in a ditch. I felt an almight BANG! as I went through since the wheels didn't touch the bottom of the ditch and I couldn't get up on the road. However, the highway curved back to the left as it started climbing a hill and I was naturally pulled back up onto the road. However, my landing was heavier than when I first hit and I went over the double-whites a little. Not realising my position on the road, I glanced down, afraid I'd done some damage when I'd bounced back up on the road and ... I hit a Toyota Corolla.
Fortunately, no-one was injured. It was just a glancing blow and my car took the most of it, though the Corolla's rear suspension was destroyed. I don't remember the actual collision other than one minute I'm bouncing back on the road and the next I've got no power and no response and I'm trying to coast it in to a small wide section of the verge to get it off the road before charging out and swering my head off as I checked on the three other cars involved; the Toyota and cars that had been following both myself and the Corolla. Police were called as four vehicles were immobilised and I lost two points off my licence and did $4000-$5000 damage to the Lancer. The important thing was that no-one was hurt, it could very easily have been much worse.
