My female owner had her first car accident today as the driver. She says that it was an accident that shouldn’t even have happened. She was just trying to park her father’s car in a tight spot and paid so much attention to the back of her car (trying not to hit the taxi in the next lot) that she forgot to notice the diminishing space between the wall and the front of her car. She ended up scrapping the paint and denting the right bumper. But the best part was, she did not feel any impact with the wall and found out about the damage only long afterwards when she came back from one party and wanted to know the license plate number of her car in order to get security clearance for her next party.
I think she wins the award for the most oblivious driver who gets into a self-created accident.
Although it was a minor incident, my female owner kinda lost confidence in her decision-making ability and road-awareness. She never felt dumber for thinking that she would be able to squeeze her father’s car into such an awkward spot. The good part was, she made a conscious effort to reach home early to apologise to her father. So we got to see her early!

ahh.. thanks for your encouragement. never felt so dumb in a long while. dad seemed ok about it but he probably wonders why his driving genes didnt make it down the hereditary line.
