I rear-ended someone badly?

WELL just be yourself, ifs unfortunate that accidents happen, your parents may get tired of taking you to school and picking you up, 21./2 hours late makes them look lame not you. but such is life. you need to not fgollow so close, forget about defending your position if you get too far back and some A hole cuts in too bad, back off more, its a whole lot safer that way, and you would still be in your truck if you were hanging back taking it easy. good luck
