Car accident

Hi,

What a day. I had my last signing for they day, I had done 3. Very stressed, did not get edocs until late for all three. Got edocs 1 hour before for a signing 1 1/2 hours away. Borrower were really nice about the delay, they understood. After leaving the signing, I had to make copies for my fax backs and get to the last Fedex drop off for 6:00pm. It was 5:30, bit no problem. Then a driver decided he wanted over in my lane, got over by hitting my front end on the drivers side. The driver turned on the next street and I thought he was going to pull over to access the damage to our cars. No, he just sped up and kept going. I followed him and called 911. I tried to get on his drivers side and roll down my window to get his attention. When I did that he tried to run me into another car. I then got behind him and got his tag number and gave it to police, but not before he tried to run me off again 2 more times. All this was happening in rush hour traffic. I pulled over to wait for police, not to mention being pretty upset. Well after the police came, about 45 minutes later and the police report was filed I then only had 1 hour to get the the Fedex shipping location 25 miles away.
I made it and finally got home at 9:00pm. What a day!!!!. Glad to say there are no injuries and my car did not substain much damage. He had more damage than I did. I have a SUV that has plastic panels and dont even scratch when bumped.

Margaret, sorry about your accident. what a jerk. it's probably better that he sped away and you didn't have to stand and wait with him for 45 minutes for the police.

But, regarding your package, you don't have to get them out the same day. Very seldom do I return packages same day. I do a double check of my work and get them out next day - 99% of the time. Every so often for a purchase or nonresidential property I am requested to get it out same day and I naturally comply.

Not even my worst day in years could match that! We're glad to hear that you are OK.

The lesson I learned from your posting: Follow the offending car while talking to 911; don't try to confront the driver.

Breathe. Take as much time as possible today to relax. Some of the stress is probably still bottled up inside.

Thanks everyone. I had a much better day today. I just took a deep breath and took it slow and easy today. It rained all day.

You were lucky. I am glad you are ok. Be careful before trying to chaise down someone folks have got shot doing that. Take their lisence number and report them for hit and run. Be safe.
