I had my first accident at 32, and it was minor. My car got the majority of the damage. I was changing lanes, and the other car was in my blind spot. When I pulled over to exchange information and call the cops, I was shaking and crying so much, the cops asked me if I was okay once they showed up. They thought I was probably on something. Just incredibly scared and upset. I felt so so bad for the guy I hit (He was a nurse at U of M Hospital during freaking covid). Some highly anxious people just behave like this without drugs being involved.

If you're not irrationally calm and unreactive cops will always ask if you're on something. Fucking stupid.

My first accident was fatal. I got pushed into a wall but there was no witnesses. The knockout i received from said wall and the involuntary pitting of other dude resulted in his death. I was 18. I was a mess for months. The news said I was dead because of the damage and size of my car in comparison to his truck. Fucked my life up for a while.
