have you ever been involved in a car crash?
and have u ever been a driver involved in a crash? has it affected you at all and if so how?
was in a couple of accidents as a passenger when i was younger but was so young i dont remember but was nothing major with no one injured
since ive been able to drive ive already had 2 accidents and both of them have managed to shake me up pretty well lol first accident was a few months back and my car skid when i was going round a roundabout, car just started spinning and had the choice of trying to steer it into the centre of the roundabout or trying to steer it out and crashing into a lamp-post lol crashed into the middle of the roundabout and was so shaken lol, was so bizarre because if i saw it happen my instant reaction would be to check the person was ok, but not one single person checked i was ok, everyone just stopped in their cars waiting for me to stop blocking the roundabout
my car wasnt too bad and was right by my boyfriends work so i drove to his work and couldnt stop crying and shaking lol his manager drove my car around to check it was safe for me because i had to drive myself home
but was probably the scariest situation ive been in because no matter where id steer i couldnt get control of the car again and was just at a point of panic not knowing what to do lol lucky for me only cost £50 to repair my car and i dont think ill ever be able to drive when its snowy or icy ever again lol literally traumatic
the second time was a couple of weeks ago, i was driving my sister and her boyfriend to see my dad
so stopped at a junction to try and turn left and just as im about to turn, a car goes right into the back of us lol my sister and her boyfriend were both like wtf she just hit you and i was just shocked, none of us and none of the people in the other car got hurt and lucky for us both there was no damage so didnt have to faff with insurance
she had her kids in the car and said they were distracting her and was really apologetic that she wasnt paying more attention
this time i wasnt shaken though just a bit annoyed that it happened
really weird though i was at work yesterday and i was holding a rail of clothes, and someone was trying to get past and went into the back of my rail with their trolley and hit it really hard, for a solid 5 seconds i thought i was in my car again and someone had just hit the back of me and was fully shaken loli literally had a flashback to the lady hitting me and then a few seconds later i clocked i was in a primark stockroom and was completely fine
but was so strange ive never felt like that before or felt triggered like that
what experiences have you guys had
