Ask not whether you will miss the traffic ...

[tamaranth]

... but whether the traffic will miss you.

First Motor Accident. Side-swiped by HGV, who did not stop. Evil bastard. Am fine, but shaken. Car is fine, but dented (and sans wing mirror, side-trim, left headlight). Am drinking Archers straight*, which should give you some indication of the state of my nerves.

Yay Highways Agency. They took time out from setting up cones to come and retrieve me from the central reservation (though I had actually scuttled back across to the hard shoulder) and were comforting and sensible and constructive.

*well, not quite. It's in a glass.

glad you are ok
hugs

Did you get enough detail to track down the driver, or did it all happen too fast?

[purplecthulhu.livejournal.com]

Argh! Glad you're OK! Something similar happened to my step mother a few years back. Bastard HGVs.

Car accidents are scary. I'm glad you're ok.

[ajshepherd.livejournal.com]

Eek! Were you able to get the number plate?
Even if you just remember the firm who owned the lorry you could tell them you were hit by one of their drivers in that area at that time.

Glad to hear you're OK if just shook up. Cars can always be repaired.

Argh! Glad you're alright, and I hope the Archers helps.

Eeep!!! How awful. Accidents are so scary, even minor ones. So sorry to hear it. Be careful out there -- as the old commercial went: watch out for the other guy*.


*'Cause he's an idiot.

Eeek. Glad you're physically ok, hope the car is quickly and cheaply repaired.

*hugs*

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

yikes - glad you're ok. And I hope you got his numberplate, the bastard.

[pingopark.livejournal.com]

What a bastard! Glad to hear you're ok. Hope the car doesn't take too long to fix.

[nils.livejournal.com]

Eeep! Glad you're still in one piece...

[redcountess]

Eek! Glad you're relatively ok *hug*

[steer.livejournal.com]

Christ. Glad you're OK! I hardly ever drive but the last time I did I had two near misses like that from HGVs just pulling out. They really just don't care!

[choose2live.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I'm sorry! I'm glad you're okay! Yeah, that'll jangle the nerves but good... hang in there! *hugs*

[shinysparkly.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Glad you're okay & I hope they catch the fucknugget who hit you!

[tvillingar.livejournal.com]

I've no idea what HGV is but OMG! Thank goodness you're all right and in one piece!

[triciasullivan.livejournal.com]

How horrible! Glad you are OK & hope you'll soon be able to recover your poise behind the wheel--I know I wouldn't be keen to get back in a car but what choice do you have? That's scary.

[pecos.livejournal.com]

You poor thing! I'm so glad that you're shaken but not crunched.

You never forget your first!

[gummitch.livejournal.com]

Yike! Glad you're okay.

[ivory-goddess.livejournal.com]

What is it with people I know having their cars hit by lorries?!

Bastard probably didn't even notice.

[jhaelan.livejournal.com]

Glad you're only shaken up, ma'am!

[soulstar.livejournal.com]

Ack!! *HUGS* I'm very very glad you're ok, and that little car is mostly ok. And I hope they can track down that HGV moron and... beat him with sticks! Or something.

*HUUUUUUUUUUUGS*

[melusina]

Poor you. . .I'm glad you're ok, but wow, what a pain!

[major-clanger.livejournal.com]

Wahh! Very sorry to hear this happened, extremely relieved to hear that you are OK. Lots of hugs and hope it (a) gets sorted out quickly, and (b) isn't too offputting re driving.

Ouch! Sounds worse than all the ones I've had in, er how many years is it today? Although having a head-on down a country lane was rather scary - especially as we were on the way to see Crash. But walking away is always good.

[elinor.livejournal.com]

Agh! I'm so glad you're okay. (You are okay, aren't you?)
