    nearly totaled my car. (pics)

    I posted this on facebook, but though I'd share here as well.

    On my way back to work after my break, I was not even 2 minutes away from my house when the semi truck driving in front of me slammed on its brakes, while it was rainy and wet out. I slammed on my brakes and slid literally half an inch from hitting him. had I looked down for a second, or had I not been paying attention, I would have slammed into the back of him. The reason he slammed on his brakes:



    my soccer mom van to the right.











    The kid driving the honda got out slowly holding his chest, but was ok. He started yelling fuck and kicking his car a bit.. I dont blame him. Was a pretty scary incident. I've been in an accident where I was driving before, and it wasnt bad, but this seemed a bit scarier.

              It's good that everyone made it out okay. If I were you I'd get a drink or something. Once you get home, of course.

                      Thanks guys <3. Also when I called 911 to report the accident, the operator got frustrated because I didn't know what model the Honda was, and I couldn't tell them what color it was. (i'm colorblind lol)..

                              The car that is totaled isnt mine. In my OP I said that I was behind the semi, that totaled the Honda. I came within | | <-- that close to rear ending the semi. Like I said above, had I looked away for a split second, my van would look pretty similar to the Honda.

                              edit: The thread title is a bit misleading. Didn't mean for it to seem like I was actually in an accident. Although, I was extremely close to being a part of this accident. My bad.

                                  That situation could have been very bad for you too. It's good you're a responsible driver though. Driving is scary as fuck because it only takes a split second to get into a mess.

                                      Everyone's okay right? Geez that's brutal.
                                      It also kinda looks like that honda is riding on 4 donuts.

                                          Pretty much my point exactly. In my only accident, I went to change the radio station instead of paying attention to what was going on in front of me, which caused me to rear end someone. That day I learned my lesson the hard way, but in my opinion, It made me a much more cautious driver.

                                              Situations like these are why I'm afraid to learn to drive. I have literally zero confidence in myself and the people around me when it comes to driving. Honestly, unless you have a life-threatening or traumatizing event happen to you beforehand (I did, both fortunately and unfortunately), driving is the first time it really hits you as a teenager that I am not invincible. Really, really glad you and everyone else is okay. I really hope at least some self-confidence comes with experience and practice, because I am not even remotely willing to get into the driver's seat right now.

                                                  I can 100% relate to this. I was in a really bad accident when I was about 16 with my mother being the driver. I did not decide to get into the drivers seat until I was 20 years old (I am 28 now for those who dont see my age that is posted under my av). That accident prevented me from even thinking about driving. Even when I drove with my mom, friends, anyone for that matter, I always was super paranoid. Although I would never be a "back seat driver", because in my mind, that just makes the driver less focused, I would always think to myself "omg omg, they dont see this person pulling out in front of them" or something along those lines.

                                                      mmhmm. I haven't been in a car accident yet (thank god), and that just makes me all the more fearful of how it's going be/turn out in the end. It's like a kid who's never been stung by a bee before, and has only heard about it, only more violent and generally more deadly and terrifying. I'm also afraid that my eyes are going to drift when I drive, since whenever I'm in the passenger seat, I am physically unable to keep my attention on the roads because of advertisements and distracting signs. I'm also not confident in my reaction time/depth perception, even remotely. Basically, I have 100% convinced myself that I am doomed behind that wheel.

                                                          Those were my thoughts exactly prior to getting behind the wheel. When the day came where I was pretty much forced to get behind the wheel.. EVERYTHING changes. YOU are in control of the vehicle. Your mind is on overdrive.. Your sense of surroundings change drastically. Instead of looking at signs, or looking at scenery while being the driver for the first time, you are 100% focused on the road. I remember very well my first time driving. It felt like an episode of "scared straight" where they take those bad ass underage kids to prison to pretty much scare the living shit out of them.
