Why ME!?!?

Please don't misunderstand, I'm sick about the motorcyclist being injured! This is what happened. I was buying veggies at Costco, Dennis calls, I sit in my car and talk with him. I get OFF the phone, [Thank GOODNESS I'll NEVER talk and Drive again!!!] I put my car in gear, and pull out into traffic. I get all the way to Home Depot and a motorcyclist pulls out, making a RIGHT hand turn, crosses one lane of traffic, and takes out the side of the olds. Yes, he was injured and yes I feel TERRIBLE about that. What I don't 'GET' is why he was so insistent that it was MY fault. As I stood on the side of the rode and was grilled by the 'police' I knew there was NOTHING I could have done. Even if I'd managed to get into the turning lane, he still would have hit me, he was at full throttle. I am home now and quite 'shakey' but I'm sure I'll be alright. I just wish that I didn't have to pick up Breane in a few minutes. I SO don't want to drive right now. What I wouldn't give to call Briddy and ask her to do it. Oh my, I AM a baby! [f.y.i. I did NOT receive a citation!] I think the gentleman will be o.k. but he did hit his head. He kept saying he was o.k. so I told the Police that he was holding his head when I got out of my car. He did end up going to the hospital, I just got word from the police that he seemed to be o.k. I sure hope that is the case. The bad thing is that this is the SAME side of the car that had to be repaired not 2 years ago. Maybe, I won't bother, just get a new car. I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY!!!

Oh dear -- Other than nerves are you ok? Motorcycles think they own the road. Ugh -- glad you didn't get a citation.
