I’ve been driving for 30 years, and I had never had an accident, i had never had any kind of traffic violation, including a parking ticket; What happened the afternoon I had my first accident, I do not know.
I knew I had to make a left turn, and even when I turned into the right-hand turn lane, I knew I had to turn left.
I also knew I should have looked before I turned left from the right-hand turn lane, but I didn’t. My first motorcar accident, my first of any traffic violations, was out of stupidity. I couldn’t even call it an accident, however all I saw was the face of that exhausting Heating and Air Conditioning professional behind the wheel of the repair van as he hit the front of my car. I pulled my motorcar off into a parking lot that was within 10 feet of where he hit me, the young Heating and Air Conditioning tech pulled in behind me. Two hours later, the police pulled in front of us. I didn’t give the Heating and Air Conditioning tech a option to talk. I told the police officer I had been distracted, pulled into the right turn lane, and then turned left directly in front of the Heating and Air Conditioning repair van. When he asked if my motorcar was drivable, I told him yes and let them guess I already called my insurance corporation. All I needed to do was get the insurance information from the Heating and Air Conditioning professional. The cop wrote up a police report and offered us each a copy. Although the Heating and Air Conditioning tech could not have avoided hitting me, he was afraid to call his boss, because it was his first afternoon on the task.
