Car accident
Hello dear friends,
I'd like to share with you my trouble. Yesterday I've got into a car accident. Don't worry, nobody has been hurt and I'm alive and kicking as well. Thank God!
It was in the evening. I'd gone for a drive and I just was on my way home, when It happened. I was driving Ford Fiesta, the old one.
The moment passed so quickly! When I saw the car, moving on me, I wasn't even scared. Next moment I just heard «boom»! The stroke was so powerful that my car even began to revolve. And when it stopped, honestly, I felt nothing special, I was just upset!
It must be admitted that I was guilty. There were two reasons of the accident. The first was that nor other girl nor I weren't experienced drivers. I've got the driving license before one and half a year. And my real experience is about 5 month. And the second reason was that the situation on the road was my week point. I talk about left turn. It was allowed, but I saw another car on my right side at a distance of fifty meters. Unfortunately! And it was moving with high speed, as far as I could notice.
The aftereffects of the car wreck look serious. Other car damaged my rear right wheel very much. It's visual damage, but I suppose the cardan shaft has been broken too. And other car has the breakdowns of the bonnet and the right headlight.
The policemen were very happy that there were no human casualties and they told us that about 10 accidents per week happen at this crossroads. In their opinion, it was coincidence! If I'd hurry up a bit and if she'd take her left a bit, we could pass each other. But! We both have no enough experience. And here we are!
As for me, after all this I told myself: «Congratulations! It's your first car accident and... I hope the last one! »
The moral of this story is that you need to be sure in your activities on a road one hundred per cent without any exceptions. It you are, check it twice and then move!
I wish you all driving without troubles!
Friendly greetings,
Jan

Your blog reminded my first experineces in driving . When I start to drive my hubby had a broken leg and I really need to drive in a very snowy winter and guess what in first days I had a accident . I was near to crossroad ( red sign stop )in a snowy street and suddenly I saw some people passing the street and I suddnely press the brake very strnongly ( I msut confess my speed wasn't low at that slipy street ) and you know the result... I lost the car control and it sliped a few meters and it bomped to another car in red light stop . Luckily there wasn't a damage on that car but mine was apparently seroius and guess what I have to drive with that car for about two month and it was really embarrassing ! Fourtunately I hadn't another accident yet but as you said all the time we must be cautios to avoid accident .
cheers

The speed usually does not give us a lot of time to take decisions, so when you get into a dangerous situation, it may help if you are experienced but often it is just a matter of luck if you get out unharmed. Chin up and take care!

I am so sorry to hear about your car accident and thank god you were not injured. I allow myself to advise you to see a doctor. It happens sometimes to feel well after accidents but after few days we start to feel scatterbrained.I hope it will not be the case with you. I have my driving licence for a while now but I have to confess something I am the worst driver in the world.My car is in a pitiful situation. I hate driving and it brings to me a feeling of disconfort. I drive because I am obliged to.
Again happy to hear that you are safe.
Waiting for your fascinating posts.
Souhila
N.B Please if you notice any mistakes in my note feel free to point at. Thanks.

Thank you all, guys! I appreciate your concern of me! Now I’m sure, I’ll be ok!
To Jinna: Hello and Welcome!
To Pary from Iran: Thank you for sharing your experiences! After all things I decided to analize the statistics about the most frequently happen car accidents. I think it’ll help me to be prepared in the difficult traffic situations like the last one!
To Elisabeth: Thank you! And I agree with you. I think there are 50 per cent luck and 50 per cent experience! My luck is that I’m alive, and I’ve got new experience!
To SunYoon: Go ahead! Don't be shy!
To Souhila: Thank you, but I’m sure, I’m ok! I’m strong woman! It’s a pity, that you’ve got negative attitude towards driving. But I really love it! It’s a great pleasure for me and this accident can’t stop me at all! It keeps me try harder and do my best to avoid situations like this.
Best wishes,
Jan

listen Jan, my friend, I can see you are really an incorigible optimist:) I adore the person like you whose a glass is always full by half, but never empty by half is (it's an idiom: my a freely translation from Swahili, sorry). If you are able to call the car accident merely "new experience" - I congratulate you:). But let's I wish you so that a such experience no happens never never anymore!
И главное, будь здорова!
Regards,
Emat.

Good to hear that you survived your first and hopefully the last accident of your life. I have been quite busy in the last few weeks and did not get the chance to make comments but I read all your messages today and I can gather from all your messages that you are an optomistic and dedicated person. You seem to be quite regular on this message board as you have written messages almost every day since you have started blogging and you also replied to people comments on regular basis which gives a really good impression of you. Looking forward to more interesting blogs. Hopefully I will be able to make comments from now on.
Take care
Rabail

It's interesting that you've had an experience without any remarkable pay or hazard. In our friend circle, we make a fun (if someone has accident) that 'Right, you are the experienced driver!!!!!'. And, here's the fact. We believe that if someone thinks him/herself an inexperienced, s/he always cares while driving. On the other hand, the driver, who believes that s/he has a lot of expertise, ignores everything and gets victim of an accident. It's upon you which group you'd like to join. But, right now, I'd like to congratulate you for the experience as we usually do in our circle.
Anyway, I must appreciate what you told yourself, 'It's your first car accident and... I hope the last one'. I wish you all the best for keeping this up. Bye.

To Mohammed: Thank you! I will!
To Ashish: Thanks for the warm words. I really appreciate it! I think, I'll be more careful now. And I don't think that I'm experienced driver at all. I have my father's example, he's really great driver, but he also has small accidents from time to time. As they say, no one can feel secured against it!
Best wishes,
Jan

One of my close friends went into a similar situation in terms of them not being a driver for too long and getting into an road accident...you always think these situations will never happen to you!! However she had to go through to solicitors and argue her case, she used McKeowns solicitors St Albans, and they dealt with her situation efficiently

I'm new comer from thailand. First of all,I'm so sorry with your car accident. For me, accident will help improve your experience and become a great driver. I think that most experienced driver must had some accident like this before. For instance,this situation is like my father's experienced. He told me once he had that accident,it thought him what to do. Also it helped him became aware and more careful when he drive a car. And since that accident happened he don't have any car accident anymore! So you don't have to be worried. I'm sure that you'll become an excellent driver. :=)
I'm so glad to visit and read your blog.
Best luck,
Yippa

First of all I have to say "Thank God Jan, you are absolutely safe!!!"
there is nothing more important that your own safety. A car, you can buy a new one if it's broken.
now please more be careful when you are about to cross the intersection because lots of car accidents usually occur there,, even in Thailand and in other countries.
Take care Jan,,

I'm so sorry to hear that, do you know that you are very lucky. Not to have been injured?
I know, what you must be going to right now. I felt really terrible, at that time I didn't want to ever drive a car again. In Thailand, when I drive a car to the University, I always see an accident on the road, But I believe that if we had driven carefully and followed the traffic laws accidents would not have happened.
Take care yourself.
