so about to leave for school and i backed in to my moms car because she decided to park behind me for some reason. the cop comes for the accident report and he looks at my car and he sees it is a honda but it does not have the accord emblem on it in the back. so he asks me is this a civic, i was about to rag soooo hard. well thanks for listening to me vent, how often to people think your cars a civic?

 

strange story and pix?

 

1. sorry to hear
2. how did you not see a car behind you?
3. your mom called the police on you? wow lol

 

I thought he might been "high or drunk." Lol.. Just kidding.. Hope thing goes o.k

 

my thoughts exactly.

 

well im at school now so i will get a picture when i get home. i started backing up first then went to look, but she has never parked there before and i did not see her parked next to me so i assumed she was in the garage.

she only called the police to get a report for insurance purposes. it was not just a little ding. for the low speed i was going there was some damage

 

Picture of carnage





and




Mom.

 

You were about to "rag soooo hard", because he couldn't identify a particular Honda right away? Really?

Yet, you backed into your MOM's car that was PARKED directly behind you in your OWN DRIVEWAY?

 

as i said earlier i will get a picture of my car, but my mom... thats another story.

well I was just annoyed because not every small honda car is a civic. most accord owners are annoyed when they get there car called a civic.

yeah dont get me wrong i am very upset about having hit her car and doing damage to both.

 

well here is the damage on my car my mom is not home so i cant get a pic of hers.

 

Waiting

 

You must be a young inexperienced driver

 

yes and yes but that is not to blame it is my own fault to not acknowledge everything around me

 

Define low speed, please.

 

Cop: so You did this at a slow speed
Mutiny:yes *sniff* *sniff*
Cop:yeah right slow speed my nuts......typical Civic Driver
Mutiny: IT'S AN ACCORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:O

 

OP owned by his stupidity and his mom at the same time......lol priceless

 

That's a hell of a lot of damage for just backing up a few feet in the driveway. Does your mom have a truck or SUV, or something that sits really high? If so, I could understand the damage.

Look on the brightside... When you fix your car, you'll be able to get rid of some of that rust.

 

it was Under 10 mph

she has a chrystler pacifica so its a cross over type deal the bumper is not super high but it was the right spot. thanks for being the only optimistic one here besides me, i always look at deals like this as a time to learn.

 

If you learned something, it's all good.

 

I'm confused..
How about when you walked to your car, did you not see the car behind you?

 

i was running late and running to my car and was not paying attention.

 

The first rule of driving safely is; to pay attention. **** happens, its whatever, get it fixed, move on, however, from this point out it should be a lesson for you to pay attention to your surroundings and generally be more aware, god forbid you had hit a pedestrian and not your mothers car being in a rush. Imagine how bad something like that could be?

 

thats what im saying i mean yeah its upsetting that i damaged both cars but i cant be mad about it the whole time. but like you and i said its a learning experience, and i guess its quite common among young drivers, my mom said that 3 or 4 people from her work had something like this happen to them with there kids
