To think when you have a car crash

Your first reaction should not be to yell and scream obscenities at the other driver, no matter who's fault it was?

In this case it was only a minor incident thank god, but the yelling driver only stopped yelling when they saw ds was in the car. Why do you need to start shouting anyway? Everyone is surely shaken and upset and it wasn't like it was done on purpose!

I would have shouted at the twat who hit me head on when driving round on a blind bend, but I was knocked unconscious at the time. So I saved that for when we got to court instead. Seriously though, it depends on the type of accident, if someone was driving recklessly with no thought for other road users then I would shout at them. If it was one of those things where it just was an accident, a moments lapse, that kind of thing, then I like to think i would be a bit calmer about it all.

Someone drove into the back of me in October because the fuckwit had a dog jumping around in the car. Didn't shout at him at all, Im surprised how calm I was.

If I saw him now though I'd wring his scrawny neck!

My car was written off so now have a
crappier one. I'm waiting to see an orthopaedic consultant because of my neck and back, living on painkillers and lost loads of overtime because I can't do extra hours. Looks like I will have to be temporarily re-deployed too until I'm fully recovered. If ever!
