Yesterday I wanted to go into the city but my car was waxed and all cleaned out and I really didn't want to get it dirty because I am intending to sell it, so I took the van. I dont have much experence with driving vans because we just got this one like last month, its and 05 Honda Odyssey Touring so its a pretty big van. Anyway I drove it a few times, no problem. I was doing like 60 mi/h and allong this road, I dont know what it is its like a highway exepct its not the main big one. So I was driving allong and it was raining no problem but I passed a gas station and this guy had his truck half out on the highway and I was having trouble seeing because of the rain and I was just looking straight ahead and by the time I noticed him he was too close for me to stop and avoid hitting him and behiend me there was a big transfer truck and I knew that he deffenatly didn't have enough time to stop so I made a split seccond decision to land it in the centre median, witch is that rocky part between the two lanes. So I swerved missed the truck and over a lane of traffic into the median, then I turned around and saw the transfer truck driver slam on the brakes and comming within 2 feet of hitting the truck. I probably could have swerved around the truck and missed him and not damaged the van but when I went to driving school the instructor said if you are driving a van to never make an sharp turn because you would roll over, and I REALLLY didn't want to roll over. Anyway the only damage to the van is the front bumber cracked and a light cracked and when I went over the side of the road I must have hit it at an wierd angle because when you press the sliding door opener button the door jams and closes and theres a piece missing on the bottom of the door aswell. Overall it was quit scarry but it wasn't as bad as the last accident I was in where we rolled over down a hill :(
Anyway I only had a bruise from the seat-belt and I have a bit of a headache, but i'm not sure if that was because of the accident or the hangover I had the day before :S
