So yesterday morning the mother of the girl that I hit in the 5-car crash on Thursday came over to my house. I guess the girl picked my picture out of the yearbook and she was able to track me down, or something. She wasn't angry at me or anything, she just wanted to get the bumper of the car fixed because it was slightly dented and she said she felt bad seeing how smashed up my car was, but yeah, so she's going to report it to the insurance company so that means we also have to file an insurance claim, which means that my insurance rates are going up majorly and I'm also probably going to have an at-fault on my record now, because CA laws are ridiculous and if you hit another person's car it's automatically your fault. She'll also have one on her record, but wtf, this is ridiculous. Us two and the guy who hit me are the least at fault for the crash, but we're still going to have it on our records, while the guy who was swerving in and out of the lane and the girl behind him who I found out could've swerved to miss him but instead chose to crash into him are going to get off scot-free. My mom was saying she was glad that the woman found us because it's fairer now, and I'm like "wtf, how is this even fair? I'm not at fault for this at all, I don't care what the law says, and I'm going to have this on my record?" gah.

Yeah, so these past couple of days have just kind of sucked. Everything just seems to be going wrong, everything in the house is breaking, and it's just all... blah. I'm looking forward to it being several months from now, when this is all over.

Oklahoma laws are like that too, where if you hit someone from behind your automatically at fault. My mom was in a situation like that too a couple years ago, even though the whole accident wasn't her fault at all. It's not fair you have to deal with all the insurance stuff when you were driving safely, just because someone else wasn't.

When I got my accident last year I was the one who got hit but it became my fault. Before I crossed the highway I checked both sides and it was clear. The car came out of nowhere and was pretty fast. Mom says I didn't see the car because it was hidden by a truck that was turning too but... I was almost all the way to my side when I got hit. The rear bumper on the left side got the impact. I didn't have any damages except for a few scratches and paint. The lady who hit me couldn't open the driver's door anymore because it was the left wing in the front that hit me. I didn't have to report to my insurances and mom and I thought I would have to because the woman's insurance company called here to have more details. I got lucky; my own insurances didn't call and I didn't have a higher insurance after that. If I had changed company I would have been stuck with a higher amount each month because the accident is still on my record.

Anyways, all this to say that laws are pretty weird sometimes. You don't agree with them but got no choice and follow them. Sucks.
