さっき運転していたら、交差点で追突された。相手の車がかなりデカくて、一瞬、終わったなと思ったけど、無事でした。相手の方も誠実に対応してくれてありがたい。20分以内に報告も手続きも全部終了。早すぎて、まだ脳内で処理中。しかも警察官が全部書いてくれた。アドレナリンで手が震えてたから、自分で何も書かなくてよかったのもありがたい。こういう時に、社会はちゃんと機能してるなと感じた。人生で初めて交通事故の届け出をしました。皆さんもお気をつけてね。
I was rear-ended at an intersection earlier today. The car was so huge that for a second I thought I was done for. I'm fine. The other driver handled things properly, which I’m grateful for. The report and all the paperwork was done quickly in ~20 minutes, sooner than I could process what happened. The officers even filled everything out for us, which I was grateful for since my hands were shaking a bit from the adrenaline. In moments like this I can feel and appreciate that society is functioning properly. This was actually my first time filing a traffic accident report. Drive safe. -Michael
