My last encounter with another car taught me a few things that have kept me ticket, record and accident free for more than a decade now:

1) there will always be a better driver than me
2) with every one good driver there are about 10 irresponsible, dangerous drivers I have to share the road with
3) most importantly: if I get in an accident, regardless whose fault it is, I NEVER win.

Basically those 3 lessons result in me driving like a paranoid cynic.

Totally number 3 ... I hate accidents, no matter who is at fault.

The only good thing, I have an in to get my car fixed at where my brother in law works. That will allow me to get my car fixed on the cheap.

I just have to deal with the insurance issue tomorrow .. and hope it is not too bad.

Agreed...it's the multitude of idiots out there you really have to worry about.

. I agree with all three. The last two keep me driving with pretty much the same mindset you have.
