Car Accident!

Don't be panic after you see the title. I am completely fine and health, but I had a very small car accident yesterday noon.

I was going to the bank to withdraw some money yesterday lunch time. I tried to park my car in the parking lot outside the bank, but the parking lot was full of cars, only one spot left. It was a narrow space. When I tried to park my car into that spot, I hit a red car on my left hand side. Fortunately, my car's speed was nearly zero because I was parking, otherwise, it may hurt people in that red car. It was a red Toyota Corolla car and there was a woman sitting inside and talking on the phone. I didn't hurt her, but I left two light scratches at the back of her car on the left hand side. She suddently came out of her car and shouted at me. She looked young and pretty, but her words were very dirty. I parked my car again and tried to explain the situation to her, but she was too angry to hear. Finally, she calmed down and tried to ask me for money. Oh, Woo~ ~ ~! Are you really caring about your safty or your car? That's the question I wondered at that time. She seemed that it was a good way to get rich quickly.

I didn't quite want to talk to her because she tried to rob my money. I don't exactly know how much she wants to get for these small scratches. I told her my Insurance Company's phone number and all my information including my driving license no, my insurance no, plate no, registration card no, and phone no. After that, another older woman came out from the bank, and seemed to be her friend. Both of them shouted at me and tried to ask me for more. They tried to tell DMV about it, but unfortunately it was too small to be accepted. I called my Insurance company at that time, because I didn't want to deal with them. Finally, my Insurance Company gave me a help. Usually, I didn't quite like Insurance Company, because they always ask for something, but seldom pay back. Yesterday, I appreicated their help. It was difficult for me to deal with two mean people, who looked like Mexicans. They always spoke Spanish to each other, which I didn't understand. One of them could speak English, the other couldn't. Their English was not quite good, but the dirty words were pretty good, which I didn't like. Why not learning some good words? My Insurance company asked both of us about the information for this accident, and then they told me to take a picture of my car after I came back and got my camera. They gave them the phone no. and promised that they would pay for that. But they still didn't want to let me go, because they told me they were scared and maybe had a big mental problem in future. Oh, well, how comes you could have mental problem because of this small accident? You even may not feel anything when my car hit your car. I was alone at that time, and I couldn't deal with those two mean people, again I asked my Insurance company for help. They talked to them on the phone and finally they left. I didn't quite know what my Insurance Company told them, but after that, they left without saying anything to me.

This morning, I sent the pictures of my car to my Insurance Company and they told me that they gonna handle it. It was a small accident which was covered in my Insurance plan. I actually feel so sorry to that person, because I don't like small scrathes on my car either. But I am very angry about their attitude. It seemed that they didn't care about the car, or themselves, but only money. They gave me an impression that they hoped I could completely destroyed their car. It made me sad. They had a nice red Toyota car, and even I felt sorry about that, but they really only cared about money. What a pity! My Insurance fee gonna increase from next month because of this small accident, but I still appreciate their help yesterday, otherwise, I may call 911 to resolve it.

This was my first time to have car accident after I got my driving license, which I didn't like. I always drove very carefully because it was my responsibility to make sure other people and myself's safty. Two important things I learned from it: you must buy car insurance, which is really helpful; and you must drive carefully even during parking.
