hit by a car

Post Reply New Topic

yesterday saw a pedestrian get hit by a car.

recently, saw/heard plenty of car crashes. car vs car and car vs pedestrian.

makes me afraid of getting hit by a car.

when i am with someone, usually they cross the street against the slight or otherwise outside the intersection. i almost never do that. then they are pressuring me to do it with them. but whatever. i am hardly ever with anyone, especially nowadays.

former "friends" either dumped me or i dumped them:

amy lee scheel (rolls eyes)
caroline
dena

whatever

esp since i work in a parking lot. construction workers often drive pretty badly. frequently they almost hit me with cars and then have the nerve to laugh @ me.

Sorry you saw that sfbum. I hate seeing people get hurt, really messes me up. I think fear of being hit by a car is a rational fear though. Especially if you're working around cars and get frequent demonstrations of poor driving. Just take care out there.

Today a car across the street from me was spinning out of control and got in a crash

Heard it

Did not see it

Yeah, that happens. I was usually fine when driving, but then I moved to a new city where the traffic got increasingly worse, and then I was in two accidents and almost a third one. After that, I was aware of my surroundings all the time when driving there. Now that I left, I don't think I'm as nervous. I used to try my hardest to stay away from other cars even if it meant speeding. In fact, I thought speeding a little was safer because if I was the fastest vehicle on the road, then I only had to worry about what was in front of me. Now that I'm somewhere with less traffic and it's easier to stay further from others, I feel better.

Maybe it's good that you are paying attention to the traffic in your area. I'm impressed with your boundaries too. Aside from what you said so far, do you think it's causing any other issues?

I remember when my sister got hit by a car. I couldn't bring myself to go and watch because I can't stand the sight of blood.

Constantly afraid of getting hit by a car

Maybe tomorrow
