Today I had my first accident in my car and it has unnerved me. I had just finished dropping my husband off at his relapse prevention class and was heading home to put my darling yet cranky son down for a nap. I was looking left and getting ready to turn when a guy on a bike hit me. His wheel was bent and I have a small scratch on my hood. No one was hurt thankfully, although my son was freaked out, he is only 2. I had my hijab around my shoulders and put it on, got out and saw if the guy was ok. He had a woman call the cops which I don't mind then gave me a look over. He asked if I was "one of those" ie Muslim which I said yes I was. He called me a bit%^ and said it was all my fault.
The police which were very kind and could tell I was unnerved told me it was his fault since a.) he was riding on the sidewalk and b.) and riding against the flow of traffic. The bike guy filed a case against me so I have no idea what will happen now but i am so skiddish and scared, I have never had an accident since I started driving at 18 (I'm 33 now).
