3 days ago, I got into a car accident. I thought that would be the end. Probably I was that lucky that I didn’t get hurt so bad that the only thing I had was a whiplash injury (managed by NSAIDs like Motrin and some cold packs and I am gon do chiropractic sessions weekly)
I can clearly recall that day would’ve been my dayoff. I just said yes to work cus I knew nobody could work that day so I said yes. So did I. That time I was orienting my tumblr nurse friend on the floor. I let her do everything except checkin her up whenever she’s giving medications, jusr for safety cus she still working under my license. So we finished our shift and we heading home.
I was driving along Otis Dr. in alameda and when I got to the place where the right hand side is the southshore center, i didn’t expect something’s bad is about to happen. So I have the right of way, two lanes towards Park Street, I was driving 25mph on the left most lane. Right in front of Safeway Gas Station, this stupid driver from my left trynna do a quick left turn without even yielding cus maybe they wanna get into southshore center’s parking lot real bad. I almost hit the car to think I was driving 25mph, so I tried to stop. Right after 1 or 2 seconds, I thought everything’s fine, this car from the parking lot which has to be stopped cus they comin from a STOP sign, suddenly hit me from the passenger’s side. That was like a bolt of lightning. Like a snap. Or whatever you call it. I was like “Fuck I’m at the leftmost lane and how the hell that car hit us”. My car almost flipped sideways. Me and my friend were hella scared. I pulled over the curb and got a picture of all the necessary things to file for a damage of property claim. I called the police right away. My car’s broken. The suspension is broken, tire got flat. I couldnt drive it yet not until it get fixed. Now I am still in shock and I have a trauma now to drive.
Everytime I see a stop sign on the right even though I have the right of way, I feel like somebody’s gonna hit me. It was a nightmare. To all the drivers out there, please be careful. To all the stupid drivers, fuck off. Just stay at home and never drive. Fck it. --- 03/12/15
