So, How Has Your Day Been?

[ProfessorGAC]

Hope well. Mine, not so much.
At around 6:50, I got a call from a school 18 miles away that they needed a 8th grade math sub. They start school at 7:45.
So, I hurry to get ready, jump in the car and head there. I called them at a red light letting them know I'd be there before the first class but not "on time".
As I'm turning down a lane in their parking lot, BAM!!!.
HS aged girl hits me broadside. Just jetted out of the spot she was in as I was turning.
Given the low speed, my door is pretty screwed up.
Hope your day has been better than mine.

1. That sucks, Perfessor!

Sorry you're having such a "fun" Monday. Hope you're not hurt! I hope you both have good insurance.

from DU!

4. Parking Lot Speeds

Nothing close to injuries. But, the car, while still drivable without issue, doesn't look yo good.

2. Better than yours. No good deed goes unpunished.

Glad you weren’t hurt. Hope it all works out.

3. Are you also available

as a driver's education instructor?

Hope the insurance/repair hassle is only a mild headache and not an extremely aggravating one.

5. Glad you're ok!

At least it wasn't your fault. Bet she'll check twice before backing out from now on. Too bad her learning experience was at your expense.

7. It's Worse!

She was going forward! She simply drove into a car that was right in front of her going only 4 or 5mph.

6. That sucks, I was recently in a car crash too.

Last Thursday I was driving on the freeway and someone tried to merge into me. I swerved left to try to avoid them but my car spun out at 65mph and crashed into the median. I walked away with no serious injuries but my car was totaled and I didn't have collision insurance so I'm screwed without a car for a while.

8. What a shame. Going to do something good and Bam. Hope you weren't injured.

9. Nah!

I was only going a couple mph coming out of a right turn; in a school parking lot.
And, she wasn't in the parking space I was going by. She was the next one back.
She still hit me hard enough to put a little hole in my passenger side door.
But, still not fast enough to cause injury. My suspension absorbed half the impact. It wouldn't have knock a vase over.
Still, my car doesn't look great.

10. Still sorry for ANY damage you may have incurred, but glad you suffered no physical damage.
