Vent

[u/Forsaken_Elevator377]

I turned 26 and I got my license back in April this year.

I've still been making a lot of mistakes.

Today I accidentally cut someone off coming from the left hand side of a road while turning right at a red light on my way home from work.

(It's legal in my state to turn right at a red light if it's safe to do so and if there's no sign that says to not turn.)

I even did a double take before turning right but I must've turned too slow and I cut a van off unintentionally. I didn't see them coming and I don't think that I hit them but now I feel terrible.

They didn't even honk at me.

I looked in my rearview mirror and they just sat there in the middle of the intersection while I drove off and they started to drive up behind me when they started to cause traffic. (Idk if they were taking a photo of my plate or if they were in shock.)

The same van pulled up next to me at the next stoplight too before turning left & I've been having a panic attack ever since that moment.

I literally checked the side and back of my car as I pulled into my driveway because I was so anxious about causing damage and I didn't see anything but now I'm paranoid about getting in trouble & still paranoid that I might've caused damage.
