Well to make a really long story short, I got into an accident today. I have traction control on my 99 GT and it has never failed me until today. I literally did a 180 into on coming traffic at the blistering speed of 25 mph. I got hit in the passenger rear quarter, passenger front quarter, front bumper and my hood is bent down. My steering column is busted and I think I may have some axel damage.
It was raining and my traction control as never failed before today. It did not engage at all, I would have remembered the green light going on.
It's my fault but the girl that hit me hit the gas instead of her brake because she panicked. She bounced off my car into a pole. Her front bumper is pretty messed up but she was able to drive home.
It was funny though because I went to HS with her, she was a grade below me. I'm pissed not because of my car but this just makes me putting off a terminator even longer now
The only bright side is that my best friend's dad owns a collision shop and he will definitely save me some money.
There were two witnesses and I have no idea if they are going to put all of the blame on me. 2 of the cops were really cool but the 3rd (who wrote the report) was the biggest ass that ever lived. He tried to get me to say I was speeding. The fact is I wasn't I was going 25 in a 35.
His first words were and I quote "spare me the traction control bullshit, I was young once too." I didn't back down though and I let him have it. I'm 21 and I have never even been pulled over let alone a ticket of anykind. I wasn't speeding and I wasn't about to say I was. I have never met a bigger doushe bag in my entire life, this guy definitely takes the cake.
Sorry for the novel but I'm pretty upset. I definitely believe now that a yellow car automatically makes you a target.
