I'm never driving again . . .

<font color="green"> Gah . . . Ok so here's what happened. There is a huge week long sesquicentennial celebration in our town. I had to march in a parade today. When I was leaving in my brother's car(because I don't have one of my own), I was going around a block and a firetruck that was in the parade was coming right at me, so I pulled off to the side but my back end was still in the way, so I had to pull forward more. I put the brake on to stop the car, but only the edge of my foot hit the brake...which then slips off the brake hits the gas, causing me to hit the back of the car infront of me. Luckily I knew the person. She wasn't mad, but her dad might be. I thought my brother and parents would be. No damage to brother's car, but her's has paint damage. I was shaking really badly, so I drove to Josh's house told him what happened, cried, he calmed me down. Then I went home. Told my parents and brother, none of them cared really. Said might not even have to bother with insurance.

So . . . anyone else been startled by a giant firetruck and ran into someones car when your foot slipped of the edge of the brake. Or similar accidents? </font color>

Never.

Nope.

However, being a cop, I am a trained driver when it comes to high-speed pursuits. Once, when I had a new partner, I made her almost piss herself three times, because she was so scared of my driving. Talk about fun.

Again, the Walken voice is very important to the full humor of your post. Because Mr. Walken would do that to someone, ya know. Ya gotta love that crazy mo-fo.

Astaban, sorry that happened. Even though that has not happened to me, I can say that it is a common thing. Many young motorists make small mistakes in judgement. The first time I drove on wet pavement I almost took out a woman and two kids. But, they say God favors fools and drunks. Just get a little more experience under your belt and this should never happen again.

The first time I ever went driving I hit a fence post. Luckily, it was mine, and there was no damage. Since then, I've never been in an accident that was my fault.

<font color="green"> Heh, I like driving fast too. Great fun. 80 in a 45, WHEEE! I don't think I'd do that in my brother's car. I have the worst luck with that car. Maybe I should just stick my mom's mini-van. I have mastered driving that piece of crap. The 3rd time I drove it though(this was when I still had my permit) I backed into my brothers car. That was partly his fault though. His car was too far over and he had been driving the van and he angled it in the garage so that when I backed out, I would have to either hit his car or my dad's truck. That was a long time ago though. I've gotten better. That damn firetruck scared me.</font color>
