I almost had a car accident yesterday. I was parked on the right side of the street and waiting for traffic to clear. There were gaps between the oncoming cars but the annoying kind where there’s not enough of a gap to pull out, just big enough to exasperate you.
The last car passed and there was only a truck coming, but it was far enough away so I could pull out and, anyway, I was going to make a right at the corner. So pull out I do and I see out of the corner of my eye a white flash and the driver is leaning on the horn. Where the hell did he come from, because he wasn’t in the road. Later, I guessed he was on the opposite side of the street, coming out of a driveway. He wanted to beat the truck, too, so he made a fast left and came up on me. Nobody was at fault. It was just circumstances came together. But insurance-wise, I’d be liable because I was pulling out.
I made it out but didn’t hit him. I’m sorry I scared him. I felt very anxious the rest of my driving day.
