Just out of scientific curiosity; what was playing on the radio at the moment of impact?
All car accidents suck. The noise, the impact, the shock, the “oh shit” moment right before you hit…
Glad you’re ok, keep a lookout for lingering painful things and be grateful.
Does your school have a physiotherapist? If so, I suggest you go see them and have them check for muscle strains. Whiplash can be very bad.
Glad you’re okay. Just a thought…change your location, will you? Just a bit creepy considering what happened.
Keep meaning to chime in with: Glad you’re OK!

Actually, I’ve been meaning to do that…Thanks for reminding me.
The radio wasn’t on when the accident happened, in case anybody was wondering.
I’m an insurance broker, so if you have any questions that aren’t getting answered, ask away.
I’m very sorry you had to go through that dare_devil007_.
Maybe I’ve led a sheltered life, but my car accident was the most traumatic experience I’ve ever gone through.
It was head-on. He turned left when the light was green, when he didn’t have the right of way. I was coming on the opposite direction. Actually, it was somewhere between head-on and driver’s side. The engine was pushed under my feet.
I SAW IT HAPPENING. I saw this pickup come onto my little compact. It was the only moment in my life where I had this feeling of absolute certainity that I’d die… no flashbacks, just a primal… scream. People think that if they’re in the same situation, they can make it up with their Makers… well, that’s BS, your body and instincts takes over completely.
My car was completely totalled, with the driver’s door crushed, but I managed to wiggle out and walk away. The car took all of the impact, not me.
It’s been 5 years and only a few weeks ago I cried recalling that memory. …Ah, hell, I’m crying again.
Tough break, dare_devil007_… just be thankful you have your lives.
Yeah, he’s such a little trooper. 
Funny how they easily bounce back from what everyone else was so frightened of, huh? I’m sure he didn’t realise the seriousness of the situation… sometimes I wish I could be that way, too. He’s still the same way today, at 22 years old, even though he “gets” how bad a situation is, he shrugs it off and considers in the past, learned from, and nothing to dwell on.
How I idolise him.
