Okay, yes you should've gotten out to take a look. But anybody who has been in an accident (and, yes I speak from experience) knows you aren't always thinking clearly just after it happens.
You were distracted. You were nervous.
But you're not an idiot.
Dad says I shouldn't drive on that road in the winter, and he's probably right. It's ALWAYS full of rocks and potholes...he thinks that's probably where my windshield first got cracked, and he's probably right.
I guess shortcuts aren't always worth it! Better start getting up a little earlier...
Yeah...I was NOT thinking clearly! Especially as that has never happened before. I was just in shock.
