Sitting at the light just like I did every day of the week on my ten mile commute to work, I started adjusting the radio. I was tired of the talk radio and looking for some “feel good” music when BAM! My car leaped forward like a rabbit and I automatically pressed the brake harder to stop it before I hit the cross traffic.
What a shocker! I had just been rear-ended and I had no clue. I felt like I had just dropped 10 floors in an out of control elevator and hit the bottom floor at full speed.
Now the traffic light turned green and cars on each side of me moved forward leaving me sitting there like a stranded ship. I pushed myself up from the steering wheel and looked in the rear view mirror. All I could see from my low sedan was my rear window full of an SUV grill. It looked enormous even though it was just a regular SUV.
Traffic was passing me like a rock in a stream as I checked my fingers to see if they worked. Everything seemed to be OK. I turned the rear view mirror towards me to see my face, which also looked OK. My nose was starting to throb and I could feel my heart beating.
I noticed the door made a new squeaking noise as I opened it and carefully stood up out of the car. I felt like I was getting out of bed after a bad nights sleep.
I slowly walked back to the SUV and all I could see through the windshield was air bags and a hand pressed against the driver’s window.
I had been rear-ended. I had been rear-ended just like others I have seen every once in a while during my daily commute to work. I never thought it would happen to me and I never really anticipated that it would be such a shocker.
