Who'd have thought my very next blogpost would be yet another car crash story? After 20 years of driving, and having driven all over the USA, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Houston, Charlotte, the Florida Keys, all over the Uk and the West Coast of Australia, and the whole of NZ + ridden a motorbike in Thailand, I have finally been involved in a crash.
It was the Thursday before the school October week and we were due to travel to London on the Saturday for a wee break - I was rushing away from school to do a few bits and bobs and was pulling onto a busy road when I was smacked by another car.
I'm not going to get into the ins and outs of who's to blame but the important lesson I learned here has four parts:
1) Always expect the unexpected (which I usually do).
2) Crashing a car is an administrative nightmare.
3) If you are going to crash a car don't wear shorts as the airbags will burn the skin and hair off your legs.
4) If you are going to crash your car don't do it so close to your school that the pupils see you in the back of the Police car getting breathalysed.
Hopefully the next post won't be another car crash story........
