So I have experienced a lot in my life- but luckily a car accident was never one of them.
Until this weekend.
You wanna know what's worse? It was my fault. I was such a mixture of fear and shame you'd think that I opened a puzzle box to some creepy fetish dimension. Just to you're aware, that's a Hellraiser reference.
There's one thing I learned from this entire experience- the rules to survive a horror movie are applicable in every situation.
1- Don't Go Off Alone
If you're in an accident and it's just you and someone else and you're in an area by yourselves? Call the police and call a friend. You don't want to deal with everything by yourself and you have no idea who you may have hit. They may be a sweet gentleman that falls in love with you and treats the world like a romantic comedy- OR it's a serial killer who is planning on using you as his new throw pillow.
2- Don't Say I'll Be Right Back
Never leave the scene. Never leave the other person alone. Never say never is a great song. You need to stick with the car until someone else arrives because you have no idea what could happen in the meantime. The other person could drive off, they could say that you tried to flee, who knows. Just- don't.
3- Sex=Death
Do not flirt with the person you were in an accident with. It's tacky.
4- Do Not Do Drugs
This is just a general life lesson. Drugs are bad. And if you decide to do them at the scene of an accident... I mean really?
5- Knowledge Is Power
Get all the information you can. Insurance information, pictures of the damage, drivers information, all of this is going to help you out in the long run.
Accidents suck a lot. Getting murdered sucks more (but bright side, if you're dead you never get to see those insurance rates skyrocket). Be safe people! And if your young and attractive friends who happen to be ethnically and culturally balanced start to get massacred... maybe you should just move.
