I always thought that all the advices and rules that my parents taught me was just to keep me disciplined, however I was wrong. Their rules were to make my life safer, which I couldn’t understand until I got in a car crash, because I didn’t listen to their advices about texting and driving.
It all started on June 16th, 2015 afternoon, when I was coming back from a wedding of my cousin. I spent amazing time on it and enjoyed watching of my favorite cousins, Clara, getting married. At that time all the advices my parents or teachers were giving to me were flowing in one hear and flowing out of other. So, whenever my parents were advising me about not using my phone on while driving I simply didn’t listen to them. No one else out of my cousins …show more content…
I blacked out for just a second. I wake up, realizing that air bags worked fine, saving my head from hitting a steering wheel. I hear something ringing in my ears and smell that something burnt. I started to check if all of my bones and joints are fine. Moving all of them, I figured that I am totally fine, except that my finger hurts a little bit. Second thing that I did was to disconnect seatbelt. It apparently wasn’t that easy, because my fingers were still shaking. After a finally successful disconnection of seatbelt I got out of a car and ran toward the hit car. I wasn’t worried about my car or their car, because cars are just a property, while putting in danger life of other people was always something that worried me a lot. I jogged to their car. Thankfully they were fine, and barely affected by a hit of my small car into their Jeep. The next thing I decided to check was our cars. I was horrified with the next thing I saw. Half of my engine was smashed into their high lifted car. While their car got some scratches, I got all the liquid from the engine to spill off and my car becoming completely incapable of driving anymore. My insurance covered their car, however it was merely nothing comparing to my car. When I was buying my car I spent five thousand dollars on that car. So, after I found how much it would cost me to replace engine and fix my car, I just decided to leave my car to tow company. It took me nearly half an hour to get everything out of my trunk, all my uniforms from my job, my soccer ball, my backpacks which I still had in my trunk for unknown reasons. Thankfully, my attitude of being sorry and worrying about the people I hit, the lady decided not to report it to police. Which made it me safe another couple of thousands of dollars. However the insurance did not forgive it to me that easily, increasing paying for insurance to four hundred dollars per
