Well, here I am. Writing once again. About the same topic, once again. I can’t believe it. I always end up in this predicament. If you haven’t already guessed it, I’ve hit my car. Again. For the second time in less than a year. I can’t believe I’m like this given that I am such a cautious driver.
One thing I have noticed, however, is that every accident that I have been involved in has been when I have had some other factor at play. I’ve either been sick or in an emotional and tired frame of mind that has distracted me. My most recent accident happened after I had an argument with a friend. I had been bawling my eyes out the whole drive and then accidentally drove into an oncoming car. I know, stupid, but sometimes these things just happen. Now I am searching for a trustworthy mechanic near Prahran who will be able to fix the front of my car. I think there is some structural damage but I really can’t be sure. I’ll have to wait and see what the expert mechanic says.
Being involved in so many accidents has really made my driving confidence take a dive. Luckily, a chat with my cousin helped lift my spirits. She explained that in her first year of driving she had three accidents, but now hasn’t had one in five years. I guess there is hope for me! I’d really hate to be someone who is constantly involved in accidents. It gets expensive but it also gets embarrassing. I just know that my parents are certainly judging me and thinking that I am irresponsible. All I know is that I can’t get too bogged down now, as I need to concentrate on finding an auto repair shop. Malvern is well-connected when it comes to public transport, so at least my journeys into work and to university won’t be too much of a hassle. I will, however, miss the comfort of my car, so hopefully the repair doesn’t take too long. Oh well, back to crammed trains it is!
