So friday on my into work, I had an accident. Totalled out my work truck. Lost the a** end of the truck and hydroplaned accorss 3 lanes of traffic on the NJ Turnpike. I was lucky to not hit anybody and have nobody hit me in the process. Stiff neck and some minor cut on my head is all I got and I'm thankful for that.

 

On a brighter side, I got a newer truck with 140,000 less miles (won't be that way for long). Now I just need to get my windows tinted and my sirius hooked up and I'll be set.

 

First accident in like 16 years, I hope I never have one again.

 

Also got a ticket for careless driving. Now I gotta fight this ticket.

I'm sorry to hear it Bryan. Hope you are feeling better. Take it easy for a while. The less obvious effects from car crashes like bruised muscles and joints, especially in the neck and back area, often take a few days or more to really reveal themselves.

Dammn that sucks but glad to hear your ok!!

Good thing it was your work truck!

 

I had 2 accidents in 2 weeks with my own personal cars.... ugh. Just over a month ago too.

Glad to hear all is ok. As far as the careless driving ticket goes, take a defensive driving class and you'll knock those points right off. You can take them online for like $30 and they are only a few hours at most.

Glad to hear you are ok the truck can be replaced.

Good to hear you're ok. I had an accident about 6 years back where, like you, there were no other parties involved. I was able to bargain it down to "unsafe" which carried no points, just fine and court costs.

Careless driving ticket when conditions suck? Really?

 

Someone here at Picatinny got one of those during a snow storm, the road wasn't plowed and he basically slid 300' into a bomb barrier. BS.

Glad to hear you okay Bry, did you at least get to keep the b@lls hanging from the rear bumper?

Glad you are OK. Now you get to have a new truck. No one was hurt, that's the important part.

Got my new truck. It's a 2007 colorado, with only 58k on the clock. The guy at work are making jokes saying I went through all this just to get a new truck.

 

The totalled truck, was a 2001, 193,315 miles on it.

 

Thanks for all the well wishes.

damn, Glad to hear you are ok. Did the truck hit a barricade or something?

Glad you are OK. If you haven't received a ticket in a while you will more than likely be able to bargain it down. Talk to the prosecutor prior to the court date and tell him the whole story.

Glad u r safe!

I did hit the middle barrier on the turnpike. I will see if I can get in touch with the prosecutor for a reduced charge. The bad thing is I just negotiated a no points ticket from a ticket in July. 15 years no tickets and two within 6 months. I deserved the first one, this one, I didn't..We'll see.

 

Actually kinda hurting still. I have a pinch in my neck that runs down my neck to my shoulder and then down the arm a lil. It's a major PITA. Gotta see a doc about it.

 

Thanks for all the well wishes guys.
