My Third Car accident...

IN chronological order

Late for lab at school and drove quick.

I made an improper right turn... I was not on the correct lane to make a turn.
I went fast to get in front of the car on the right lane...

Loads of understeer

Flashbacks of my two previous car accidents

Reaction:
Mad at myself for making bad decisions.

unable to see with my eyes
unable to control my arms
unable to control my leg
I lost control to my memories - how weird is that!

SLAMED into the car waiting at the stop light.

ALthough the car is drivable and only leaking washer fluid
the cops towed it away.

Got two tickets:
1. improper right turn at intersection
2. not carrying my wallet

I walked 4 miles home.
Dazed... and cannot speak properly

Pics will follow as soon as my mechanic gets my car from the impound yard.

Glad you are ok. But your writing seems odd. Are you really dazed and not speaking properly?

You didn't bump your head did you? Ask your family/friends if you are acting weird because that could be a sign of a concussion and you might need to see a doctor.

I suspect that you declined medical assistance and evaluation at the scene, eh?

Unfortunately, there are probably more post-accident concussed mini drivers walking around than we would like to admit.

Wait, who just wrote this baloney? Where's my car? I was pulling my handbrake, and then...???

Actually, to decline medical assistance, the patient must be legally able to consent (18 years old), be mentally competent and oriented, must be fully informed of the dangers/risks involved, and the patient must sign a release form. If he was in an auto accident, they would consider that as an altered mental status most likely (IE. Not mentally competent), especially if he is dizzy and or other abnormal signs. Therefore, he would have been treated and transported. If a patient becomes aggressive in nature, the police will often step in and convince the patient to go with the squad, or take them down to a psych. clinic for a 3-day hold.

And also, the police would not make you walk 4 miles. I find that a load of crap because the squad would have taken you to the hospital, and even if for some strange reason they didn't, the police would not have just left you on the side of the street... unless your community and PD suck, then I would complain.

And lastly, you cannot get a ticket for forgetting your wallet...now driving with no license is a clear offense, I'm not aware of a wallet law...

Big run truck eat night giraffe very.

Okay, seriously... what the hell were you TRYING to say ?

You got into an accident yesterday and it was your third one in a short period of time (assuming). This one was while making a right turn at an intersection. Apparently you made it from the improper lane or you turned into an improper lane.

You received two citations at the scene, one for the improper turn and one for not having possession of a valid license (assuming again).

Your vehicle was impounded even though it was driveable (result of not having a valid license I'm assuming, again).

The only thing I'm sure of is that you need a doctor. And a driving instructor.

Reminds me of an old joke I used to hear:

Q: What's the difference between a duck?

A: One leg is both the same.

Makes about as much sense as the OP.

I was checking out some of peekinde's other posts on the board. And, although he does seem to have trouble following him, his posts are generally coherent and well organized.

Hope he went to an ER after that post yesterday !

I probably need a doctor also, cause I found that real funny.
