Problem is this; I used to be living in and out of that car. I came up to a brand new intersection and was on my way to a library to check out some books to get me "in the know" of some real estate terms and policies for this new job I just got. The light was red and I was in the turn lane. There was another car in the opposing direction in a normal lane. The light turned green, and as I was making my turn, the other driver stopped in time, I thought he was just an idiot, so I inched forward a bit and froze in panic; another driver in the opposite direction was headed straight for me at a tremendous speed and didnt stop! CRASH! A few moments later, I looked up to find that I was spun completely around, the passenger side of the vehicle was competely caved in and no longer existed, 3 of 4 tires were popped, and the other driver only suffered some front end damage. Long story short, I was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and CAT-scanned...with no medical insurance! I also had no registration on the vehicle, no insurance, and I came to find out that I can no longer have that job due to the fact that my car is completely destroyed.
I was bawling my eyes out at the scene of the accident cause I was so d**n scared and in disbelief. I also received word that I had 3 previous traffic violations, including 3 more at the accident (No proof of insurance, no Drivers License [Although I had a perfectly valid one. I just didnt have it with me at the time] and failure to yeild) But the damned intersection had no yield sign, I thought it was just a normal turn lane. And that frickin lady was going 65mph in a 35, and had a full 2 seconds of reaction time and she didnt even hit the brakes!! Someone please answer me this, what the h**l is gonna happen to me? I'm jobless and car-less. I'm living at my dad's now and I have a court date.
What do I tell the judge?? I'm scared to death and so ashamed. I've always been the more alert driver than anyone else I've seen. I have health problems that I can't take care of cause I have NO money and NO insurance, and its been 9 months and I still can't find a job, even though I've been looking EVERYWHERE! I'm no criminal or bum, I'm just having a tough time right now. I used to be just a normal guy with a nice car, great job, and beautiful apartment. Now I'm just "some guy with sh*t for luck." What can I do?
