I am accident prone
November 3, 2008
If you see me on the roads (or parking lots), please do yourself a favor, and a.) turn the other way, or b.) just wait in your vehicle until I pass by.
I have been in three incidents in the past month. The first, October 5th, was a fender-bender, but fortunately it was not my fault. The guy behind me wasn’t watching the road while at a red light and rammed into me from behind. I was on the receiving end.
The next incident was a few nights ago, when I bumped into the gate opener. I knocked out my left tail light in the process and didn’t find out until I got pulled over by the Oro Valley cops. I was given the whole cordial treatment that all cops do and was sent on my way, without a ticket.
The most recent incident was about an hour ago at St. Mary’s hospital parking lot, when I abruptly bumped into a parked car, while driver was still in. Nobody was hurt, at least we were in the hospital parking lot with the Emergency Room just 100 yards away.
I hopefully will be off the roads for a little while, so incident number 4 may not even happen. Please, please drive safely, and I will also heed my own advise.
Until next time…
