RE: I'm happy I don't drive anymore: Recalling three times in my life I nearly died behind the wheel

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY4 months ago

I've been in a couple of accidents, but I don't think that any of them were near brushes with death. I've hit a couple of deer which is pretty common over here, but none of them did a ton of damage. In fact, I think the most recent one is the only one where we have ever had to take the car in to get it fixed. I got rear ended on my way to an interview once. It was a fun story, but not much damage beyond a dented trunk!

That's great news. I knew 2 people in high school that died in crashes while they were in high school. The one where someone ran a red light and hit me I think I was very lucky in that instance because I was driving a Toyota Celica and got hit by one of those massive farm-style pickup trucks. Totaled my car and the truck didn't even look like it had been in an accident.

Oh wow, very lucky indeed. Those trucks back then were like tanks. Still probably are today!
