my mother got in a car accident

[Maxwell.]

hi this is a rant and no it wasn't severe and no one in the car was hurt beyond my mom banging her head on the steering wheel and her leg, as well as my sister hurting her hand

so basically what happened was this morning she was driving along at (what she says) is 30MPH and it was raining a ton, so the roads were wet. she then turned a corner and lost all control of the car and the thing slid off the road into a ditch, the entire front bumper and the wheel hubcap  came off

my sister and my 2 nieces were in the car with her, the only injuries were my sisters hand getting hurt and my mother banging her head against the wheel, but the airbag didn't deploy and she's alright I think, she's at home right now and my sister told her to go to a hospital but she refused. now I was loving terrified as soon as I heard this because my sister was being vague as forget about it until I got home and I didn't know if she just bumped her head or even worse at that point, I know she's fine now though so that's good

but I honestly I'm angry as hell at her because I said she claimed to do 30MPH, I'm having a very difficult time believing this because she always goes over the speed limit on major roads (70-100MPH) and got a speeding ticket for it for going over it in a village once so I obviously have reason to believe that maybe she was going way too fast, as loving usual, and maybe she's just lying to us to cover it up because she knows no one approves of her doing this bullstuff so when this stuff happened I obviously jumped the gun to her handicapped speeding habits. and she doesn't listen to us when we tell her to slow the forget down

the other thing I'm loving angry as hell about is that we have a SECONDARY car and we even had a THIRD one, but my mother sold the third one to my brother who broke the loving clutch because he tried towing it with the brakes on because he can't loving drive any better or safer than my mother can and then the secondary one my dad left the headlights on over night so the battery on it was forgeted. luckily the police got to her and escorted her home, but the car we have was closer to her accident (like 5 minutes) while the police and ambulance services are a full 20-30 minutes away, if this accident was more severe I would be really loving angry at my father right now for making that stupid mistake

I'm really loving pissed and still a bit panicky over this stuff right now it's not something you want to hear, I haven't shouted at her either because that would obviously make her ordeal worse

tl;dr: my mother almost gets killed but isn't hurt badly, the car is totalled and I'm pissed

I find it hard to believe she lost control at 30MPH too, you would have to be an incredibly bad driver to do that.

agreed

it rains almost every day in florida, but even with a glaze the asphalt shouldn't be THAT bad.

Well, I hope the cost to repair it isn't too high, OP.

keep in mind this was on an incredibly wet road, there was a puddle there around 6 inches deep so she probably drove through that

not really, its super easy to lose control at low speeds all it takes is the wrong moment in the wrong conditions

also op if the only damage to the car is the bumper and the hubcap and the fact that airbad didn't deploy it probably was 30 mph

you would be surprised at how easy it is to lose control of a car even at low speeds in conditions like this

its been raining all day here, the assault gets slippery, especially after a period of no rain, where the exhaust and oil will get deep into the road, and only come out now during the rain

[Rally]

it's extremely possible to wipe out at 30mph if you forget up a turn, but it sounds like it's more likely she was lying

this
she's obviously lying

still...
hope your family recovers from that and the cost isn't too high for repairs

[Electrk.]

damn, that really sucks man.
from what you've written here it seems like she's a pretty reckless driver.


what do you mean your sister "hurt" her hand?
also, your mother should really get her head checked for a concussion.

i hate it when the assault gets slippery 

[sir dooble]

Sorry to hear that happened.
I'm glad everyone is alright though.

Hopefully this will be a wakeup call to your mum about the speeds she should be driving at.

[Maxwell.]

she just hurt it, no bones broke or anything she probably just bent it back a lot when trying to grab onto something

I wasn't there I was still at school

[shitlord]

i hate it when the assault gets slippery 

loving auto correct god damn it

[Siren]

she doesn't listen to us when we tell her to slow the forget down

Thats a serious problem you should address

[shitlord]

the car could have hydroplaned if the puddle was big enough causing her to lose control
