Smart girl. I wish everyone would wear their seatbelts. I'm one of those people who was deeply affected by the scary videos and pictures of accidents in high school. I'm glad you're ok.
I wrecked my car last year, when I was a senior. Five minutes from home, dropping a friend off, and this old man ran a stop sign. Spun out of control and the airbags went off and I climbed out of the car in a puff of smoke and all I wanted to do was wring that guy's neck!
I got the exact same car a month later, and everyone thought I would be creeped out by it. It was fine.
But then I had physical therapy for the rest of my senior year and that was NOT fun.
Are you sure you're ok? Did you get a checkup? Sometimes you feel okay, but you could have whiplash or something!
Oh, I remember some close calls now. After a game I was sitting in standstill traffic with my roomates and all of a sudden I was rear ended and my little car flew up like 100 feet or so. I bumped the car ahead of me. The girl I hit and I jumped out to accost the idiot who hit me and it was this little punk, probably high at the time, with no drivers license on him (or hiding it) not cooperating with us, his punk friend was mad because we were mad, and after the girl and I got the license plate number and as much info as possible, we gave up and were about to climb into our cars again, when the punk friend yelled, "What are y'all so mad about anyway? It's not like you have whiplash!" And when I heard that I jumped outta my car again and screamed at him and then had a little breakdown. That touched a raw nerve.
