Nobody will believe me. Honest. Yesterday, when I was driving home after work, I got rear ended. Again. I had come to a stop for a red light & everytime I do, I'll check my rear mirror to make sure the car behind has stopped. She did. Completely. So when she hit me few seconds later, my 1st thought was that someone crashed into her & her into me. But no other car was behind her. I turned off the main road as soon as I could to check for damages.
Just was well the repairs from the previous crash can only be done in April as the boot door had to be shipped from Japan. There were no additional damages save for 1 extra scratch on my bumper. She apologised & said she wasn't paying attention. Texting while stopping at red light & her foot came off the brakes perhaps? She's young & as she's wearing her scrubs, she must be in her early 20s. I told her that it's alright as I'm sure the repairs will cover it.
Just on Thursday, I narrowly avoided getting hit from the side too. I was on the left most lane on a 3 lanes road. The driver of the car on the right most lane must have been daydreaming coz she didn't see the car in front of her stopped. She did an emergency brake, tires screeching & all, before swerving to the left. She was coming directly at me & I had nowhere to go. At the last second, she straightened up & swerved into the middle lane.
I seriously need bars that come out to encapsulate my car when I'm driving. Then fold themselves back under the car when I need to get out. Just as well Jazz hasn't been repaired yet or I'll have to bring it in again. How do I avoid getting hit? It's impossible against other people's inattention.
