I was on my way home yesterday morning when I got rear-ended just off of I-17.
Details, details...
Anyhow, the DPS officer that came to assist told us that it isn't a matter of if, but rather, a matter of when one finds themselves in an accident on valley roads. He indicated that he had been in four accidents while on the job.
I think he is right. The way some people drive while texting, shaving, applying lipstick and eating, it is a miracle that there aren't more accidents around here. Then there are the vehicles that shouldn't even be on the road...
What adds insult to injury is the fact that we are just working on wrapping up a claim because my son was in an accident here in the valley just three months ago. With all of the holidays and Christmas stuff going on, we opted to wait until after January first to get the car to the body shop.
Now we need to do the same old song and dance again with the estimate, the rental car, the whole shebang...
My son was not at fault with that one either. It is a real inconvenience!
Can someone explain to me why it is that students aren't mandated to take driver's ed, but they need a gazillion credits in other areas that half of them don't even use.
Did I mention that my neck and back hurts and I am missing work because of this?
