Of course you would come out of an accident and say this!
🤣
But it did! Really!
See, the car that hit me slowed down like it was going to stop, and then passed me and kept going. All I could think about was, “Dad is going to be so annoyed if he has to take on this hit-and-run investigation and there’s no license plate”
It happens all the time that the lose people who do hit-and-run because the victim isn’t thinking about license plates at the time. I was though, having heard about enough of these investigations.
I could only think about getting the license plate, and I felt cool and calm. At the time it hadn’t really settled in that I’d been hit. I looked up and read the license plate, but I wasn’t able to remember it because I was kind of shocked, so I pulled out my phone and took a picture.
Then I thought, “Oh, I’m in the median with a crashed car. I should call 911.” So I did, and when they asked where I was and what happened I told them. That’s when I started crying. It didn’t click until then, and once the police officer, (a friend, would you believe it,) showed up, I was shaking like crazy and my teeth were chattering.
After that I was nauseated.
It was just very interesting, and a great first hand study of adrenaline rushes and the way you can focus on something that must be done, but once it’s over, you are three or four times more drained then you should be.
