yesterday some guy hit my car from behind because he was speeding and hit the brakes too late. Fortunately i was not injured i was just a bit shaken, so i stopped at the nearest bus stop and he came around and he apologized sincerely and we spoke at length to come to an agreement on how he will fix my car without me involving the police. he was an elderly guy probably in his late 40's and he was very eager to fix my car since he was at fault. Anyways after parting ways i went home but as i pulled up in the driveway i just started shaking and having heart palpitations i guess it was the after shock. have you ever been in a car accident? how did you deal with it? how bad was it?

Yes, a mini van also hit my small van years ago. I felt the shaking, too. Took me two weeks to get my bearing back in driving. Keep safe.

@Chazzygal Yes. That is why I always try to be careful when I am driving. Vision and reflexes necessary. Our roads are a bit challenging to traverse.

Yes we have. Wish I could still say No. I am still dealing with issues from one of them at times with having some pain from where the Seatbelt was when we were hit.

Yes, when I was in grade 2. It was my sister's baptism and we rode a cab and hit something.

@Chazzygal I was scared because I was at the front passenger seat with my daddy.
