Today, I left out of the driveway at my house with the sun shining down. It had been raining, so I was glad that it had quit. I was on my way to get Talia from school. The rain started again around the East Brainerd/Ooltewah-Ringold intersection. I was almost in front of Silas Marley's (near Hurricane Creek on East Brainerd), when the vehicles in front of me came to a quicker stop than I had anticipated. I downshifted to second and put on the brakes. I started to slide a little, and the rear end came around to my left just a tad. I made the stop without hitting anyone, but the guy behind me hit me. I felt a little bump, not a crunch. I put my blinker on to turn into Silas Marley's and turned in, thinking that they guy would follow.
Boy, was I wrong. He took off. No, he didn't just take off...he sped off. It was a blue truck with wooden crates in the bed. I got only the first two letters of his TN tag. I couldn't believe that he didn't notice that he had hit me. Or maybe he did, and just couldn't have any police around. Either way, I think he was totally inconsiderate not to stop and see if there was any damage.
Which there wasn't, by the way. He might have pushed in just a little bit the dent that was already on the rear bumper. :twisted:
