Changing my tune

[Nizmo]

Hi everyone,

Before the rumours and everything start ..... this is the state of my affairs:

*Yes my car was in an accident .... and whether it gets written off or not is ultimately up to insurance company.

*Yes it was my fault

*No i wasnt being stupid (and i have witnesses to prove it .... thats one thing I have to be glad for in the petrol hike)

*Yes the lady i hit is in hospital but she'll be fine.

But honestly theres things that happen in life that kinda shake you up and if i was doing my normal 80km around that bend i may not be talking to you today. When you are doing 60km and your bonnet starts crumpling towards you and you think "Omg .... Omg stop .. stop" cos all you can see is black bonnet coming toward you it gives you a big wake up call.

Im going to stop my preaching but i am saying that i guess until it happens to you .... you wont ultimately understand. But when a person is in hospital because of you and you were obeying the road rules .... it kinda brings home that even tho you think your driving skills are grand and it wont happen to you ..... think again.

P.S - im fine apart from a sore chest and foot .... and generally feeling sorry for myself ..... big thank you to Zanda that attend the scene ..... he was more help than he'll ever know & Paul that arrived shortly after.

OH NOES! I wish I was closer to be there for you!

I hope your ok. *hugs*

She's right, you don't really know what happens and how it affects you until you are the person involved.

You've got my number if you need to call me.

[yurigtr]

lauren - Sorry to hear it and i hope you'll recover from the injury real soon.

[C yar]

im glad everyone is ok, hey accidents happen to the best of us

[Nizmo]

Thanks Guys n Girls :grouphug:

On the way going home on Gt Eastern Hwy about 5kms where i had my accident ..... there was a silver R33 that had done exactly the same thing ... with the same amount of damage .... my tow truck actually got called to them.

If your on the forums - i know how ya feel .... i hope you are ok.

Funny thing was the cops that attended the scene just came from a drug bust and had to apologise to me for the fact their car stunk of marijuana when i had to be interviewed in it .... gues you got to find a funny moment in everything.

Hardcore Lauren, Hardcore!

I've been in the same situation... only the bonnet coming toward me was blue... what really wakes you up more is the airbag going off next to you and only to look to the driver and see the seatbelt's exploding.....then a fade to a white-smoke filled cabin.... I thought I'd died for a split second...

So, I know how you feel... *fingers crossed* let's hope everyone involved makes a speedy recovery

Lauren

sorry to hear about your bad luck.

Always seems to be the way - just after you spend the money on the engine, a mis-hap like this happens!

Make SURE you see your doctor and tell him you were in a motor vehicle accident. Some injuries don't present for weeks or months later. It makes a huge difference to any future claim. Touch wood it's all OK, however.

[uneekwahn]

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but Lauren, good to hear you're ok.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The car isn't too bad, just front end damage, and almost no damage to the engine:D

Glad your ok sweety:cuddle:

Heya Lauren,

Good to hear your ok, i guess this thread goes to show you how many people are here for ya if ya need help, we are a pretty tight group here so you know if there is a problem we expect a PM or phone call.

All the best Lauren the main thing is your health, i have had a scary accident a while ago i the thing you have to remember is that you are still alive..... consider that a blessing (which i am sure you do)

All the best Lauren hope everythin goes ok for you.

[pstanbis]

Your Both still breathing, Lauren, so be thankful for small mercies. I know its not the first thing you think about, but its the most important.

As with everyone, of course, Im glad your ok !

[Pva_Glue]
