Understanding in a Car Crash

I haven't been involved in a car crash in a long time. About twelve years ago I was driving with Gav as a passenger, and we got rear ended by a 4WD, and that was the last time (for me, not Gav, that set him off on a streak of car accidents for the next twelve months).

That streak came to an end on Saturday though when I collided with an elderly driver with either a poor attention span, a poor understanding of give way signs, or possibly both.

Luckily, neither of us were hurt, although she seemed pretty confused afterwards. Its possible she was like that normally though, I'm sure I will be by the time I reach my 91st birthday.

My car was a total write off, which was actually kind of a plus, since I wasn't all that attached to it. And it was insured for more than its current value.

The insurance company came through pretty well too - they took a look at the car this morning, declared it a write off straight away, and put the money into my account (allegedly) this afternoon.

So now I get to pick out a new car, which will be fun. Stay tuned to see what I come up with.
