Unfortunately for me I didn't come out of Friday the 13th untouched....
I used to love the rain.... now I am going to hate ever touching a car in the rain... I was on my way home and decided that I should go get gas before I got there.... To get to the station I use from my work there is a large "L" shaped road you can take... well I went down the leg of that road and when I got to the end of it i started breaking... the car didn't slow down and I paniced so I locked up the brakes bad idea.... I slid (hydroplaned) around 100 feet over the curb and into the lovely brick wall on the other side.... It was lovely.... The cop wrote me a ticket for "failure to control speed to avoid a collision" and I am going to take school for it.... Now the big question is what to do in this situation.... I am 16 and I ran my insurance on that car if I let the insurance pay for this accident and it comes out to about 700 a month.... I'm wondering if I should just pay the money for the wall out of pocket and hopefully save enough to fix (or possibly buy another car with the chance this is totalled) my car... I might be out of a car for a while but I can't afford to have the insurance pay for this or I don't drive at all for 3 years...... Just thought I'd share my little story and ask for any ideas on what to do about it.. ... NIGHT
