My day
I guess I can post this here, sorry if its in the wrong place.
Well Im 16, I woke up today feeling good, whent to school and such. Hung out with my friends till about 7pm then whent to my other friends hosue and saw their new truck. Anyways I decided to go home, I started up my car(was parked on street facing same traffic way) turned blinker on loked behind me saw two cars( this was at night) once those two passed I looked again saw nothing, proceeded to go... I hit a guy that was in my blind spot. I know it was my fault but since it was my first accident I felt scared. It was a minor fender bender, but still I was scared. We exchanged information and got a police report only because the guy I hit was working for the city.
BTW the guy I hit had a ranger.
Damge done, my front blinker light is shattered
His back side of truck is dented.

Sorry to hear about the fender bender, glad no one was hurt. It's normal to be upset about it, stuff happens. I think we all have made mistakes, I did it with my first Mustang, you just have to learn from it, maybe that's why I always look twice.

Yep it happens. All you gotta remember is the truck is just money, a person's life is irreplacable. At least you are both just fine.
A month after I got my Ranger I hit one of those big heavy duty brick mailboxes with it. Bye bye to the left front fender, hood, header panel, headlight, turn signal, bumper, air dam, grille, all that. Here I am two months after the accident, truck just came back from paint. Now I'm not too sad it happened with the way she looks!
Something good can always come out of something bad. I got a chance to upgrade my truck. You can always look at clear corners as replacements if you are interested in upgrading.
Just be careful, things happen, we all know that. The most careful drivers are usually the ones who end up in the wrecks sadly.
EDIT: And I can see exactly what you mean. I'm 16, my Ranger was my first vehicle, first accident, all that stuff.
