Well, OK. I got into a car accident a while ago. Someone hit me from behind and I hit the person in front of me. I was looking at my phone every now and then but I felt like I was in control of my driving. When the person in front of me slammed on his brakes I slammed on mine and I remember thinking ok I'm stopping a little harder then usual and then bam I was hit from behind. Never in my mind did I think I was going to get hit from behind or that there was gonna be an accident at all. I didn't tell anyone I was on my phone but now after the fact I feel like I should. I feel like that's what God wants me to do. What do you all think? I feel like until I tell them I won't be able to let it go. I'm not sure why. The person behind me was found at fault. I guess I feel like I was negligant too even though I don't believe I caused the accident and I should have to take some responsibility. Any thoughts?
The person in FRONT of you was wrong to slam on his brakes so suddenly. YOU were wrong (and breaking the law) for being on your cell while driving. The person BEHIND you should have either been going slower, and/ or left a bigger distance between their car and yours. Then again if you slammed your brakes on without warning, he may not have had adequate time to stop. YOU were definitely negligent in this. This is why people are taught to leave 2 or 3 car lengths in between cars when they drive--so that if whoever's in front of you stops suddenly, YOU have adequate time to slow down. But noooooo, everyone gets right up on each other's car ascots. :/
For the safety of everyone, next time leave your cell OFF. Or even better, leave it home. You might just save a life..
