I have a very large Band-Aid on the side of my van, it is about 1’x3”.Not one of those cute little Dora or Hello Kitty ones either. It is a very grown up flesh tone ones. You might have seen my vehicle…it’s a boring grey color. The color a silver van turns to when you never wash it.
This is my attempt at covering a “booboo”. I was hit by a speeding shopping cart filled with about fifty pounds of cement. To be fair it was my shopping cart that I forgot to unload before starting to drive away.
But I can say that I have never hit anything moving! Never had a moving violation nor had a claim into my insurance company (too embarrassed). I did though lose my license for contempt of court when I didn’t pay library fines (did you know they can arrest you for that?) But those books were not moving!
I have hit a house. This made a 90 year old lady very upset as I had destroyed her 40 year old rose bushes. A tree (while moving at a speed of 1mile per hour) with a car I had owned for less than a week. A dumpster, my excuse being that it is the same color as the grass. Several of those silly short poles they put around buildings phone booths and other structures that a person might damage with their car. Twice I hit cars that were stopped for red lights (3,000 in damages for one and a totaled Mustang for the other), no damage to those NON MOVEING vehicles.
So I am very proud of my driving record…no speeding tickets or careless driving violations. More parking tickets than I can recall and a few no seat belt tickets.
So I will continue to hold my head up high and buy a few more Band-Aids!
