Default First day of class..

Any college student knows how hectic the college parking lot is on the first day of class, I just happened to be on the receiving end of someone who didn't know how to handle the mayhem. I had about ten minutes to find a spot before class started and the lot was jam packed (UTD) I was becoming impatient but wasn't driving any differently, if anything I was extra cautious because honestly I knew half the people in the parking lot didn't know how to drive. I was driving straight and next thing I know I see this Accord pull out in front of me from my left. I started honking while swerving away but the idiot didn't stop. Gah! I'm getting pissed just thinking about it. It happened so quick I barely had any time to react. I was livid coming out of the car to exchange info but at the end of the day things happen and you can't do much more than deal with it. It's my second fender bender ever but god I hate driving, even seeing my car damaged

I totally know what you mean. I hate bringing my car to college. I'm actually not going to bring it this year, unless i get a reserved spot for this very reason. I just dont feel comfortable, and i can't stop thinking about it for the next hour. I am gonna miss driving my friends and I to get late night food

I'm glad I don't have to deal with finding parking in the morning. I'm one of the first ones there so I get the very first spot next to the entrance. However, on the first day while leaving in the afternoon, I almost got into like 5 accidents. I would be going straight and out of no where, people would get tired of waiting to turn and just floor it to make a left or right turn the very last second. Then some kids were trying to show off in their WRX flooring it at a turn, crossing the line, and almost swiping me.

But sorry to hear what happened, hope insurance and stuff works out.
