Although the adreneline was very high I was mostly thinking, "Well, I've never had any sort of accident while driving, I suppose I was due." (I see no reason to count the time the one guy barely tapped my bumper at a stop light and made the plate fall off.)

I'm really glad that that policeman came by to help me get unstuck though. I'm not sure what I would have done then. But thanks to him I wasn't even late for work!
