and to top off the day...
Mar. 22nd, 2006 01:20 pm...I had an accident on the way home.
I was leaving Uni when the guy in front of me stopped really suddenly. I pushed on the brakes - not quite slammed, cause I know you're not supposed to in case your wheels lock up - but the car must have hit a greasy patch and slid straight into his back (it was raining). Yup, was totally excited.
The insurance company have been great. Iain rang last night and sorted it all out, so they're handling everything, which is great. The car is fine; the front bumper is just pushed in a little, the number plate is a wreck, but no engine damage, so that's great. The worst part? The AU$750 excess. It's $350 normally, but add an extra $400 because I'm 21. Le sigh. But at least we're getting both cars fixed, which is good. Rating will go down to a four, but that's ok. It'll only take a year or two of clear sailing to bring that back up.
I'm fine, just a sore shoulder and arm and whiplash and stuff. Not fun, but I'll survive. Have an appointment with the Doctor to make sure everything is ok, and just so it can be noted that I was seen in case something comes up.
Le sigh. Bad day.
