Last wednesday, the 22nd, I got into a car accident. It wasn't very bad as you can see by my car. The damage was easy to fix and it wasn't even very much. I was on my way to work at 6:30 in the morning and I was turning left at 5600 W and 3100 S. This intersection in the morning is aweful. The only way you can turn left is to wait for the light to turn yellow. I was sitting there and the light turned yellow, so I waited for the intersection to clear. The light then turned red and the cars coming in the opposite direction started slowing down so I went. Well, when I was halfway through, some idiot didn't stop for the light and he just kept going and hit me. The stupid thing is they weren't going very fast so it was like playing bumper cars. We pulled over the the side of the road and I called 911 to report it. While we were waiting for the police to come the people who hit me (a 19 year old boy and I think his mother) were looking at my car saying "we'll fix it, we'll fix it" (they were hispanic and didn't know a whole lot of english). So that tells me right there that they were trying to get out of a ticket and they knew it was their fault. They wanted to get my phone number and leave but I told them we had to stay and wait for the police to come.
So the police came and got each side of the story. The other people kept saying that the light was "orange". The officer said to them, "There are no orange lights. There's red, yellow and green." The kid just sait, "No, it was orange." I had to fight back my laughter on that one! So we wrote down our statements on a form they gave us. When we were both done, we got the copy of each others reports. On their report they wrote that the mom was driving not the kid. I remember when they hit me I looked at the driver to see what idiot ran the red light and hit me and it was the boy! I told the police that and he said there was nothing he could do because there were no witnesses but he would talk to them about it. So I got a ticket for failure to yeild left turn and they got a ticket for not having a valid license. They had a Mexico license. (don't ask me how they got insurance with a mexico license because I haven't a clue)
The following Friday I called the insurance company to see if there insurance had called, which they had. So my insurance company got my side of the story. They were asking me things like, were you wearing your seat belt, and things like that. Well, she asked me if I was talking on my cell phone and I told her no. She told me the other driver said I was talking on my cell phone. I got mad when she told me this. Who would I be talking to at 6:30 in the morning? Everyone I know is asleep! So I offered to call my phone company and get a record of the calls for that day and she said it wasn't necessary. She said they believe their customers over anyone. So that was a relief! I also went into the doctors just to make sure that the baby was okay and everything was fine. They said it sounds like a happy little camper in there! So that was my latest adventure. The next adventure is tomorrow on Halloween when we find out what the baby is!!! YAY!!!

ORANGE.. REALLY??? That is pathetic but downright hilarious. Did they really think that the cop was going to let them off. Oh, man! I'm glad your doing just fine and the car accident wasn't that bad. My boyfriend was in the exact same car accident. Except the idiot that ran the red light was going about, i'm guessing, 60 mph. My boyfriend was driving a tiny little truck. The witness said that the bed of Trav's truck was in the air and only the noise of his truck was on the ground. But here's the shocker, Trav got 60% of the blame. THE LIGHT WAS RED. Honestly!!
O.K. I'm done ranting. I just get frustrated when I hear about stupid people/car accidents! Sheesh!
I'm so excited for you to find out what your having! Let me know ASAP! Love ya Ju-Ju!
