So I had an accident yesterday. Not an "OMG are you okay kind of accident".Other than ripping off some molding on my car, there was no damage.
It was hot out, in the mid 90's.
The Sun was beating down on us.
The other driver was a really rude elderly gentleman with a heavy Eastern European accent.
He hit me.
 He became inpatient waiting for the car in front of him to make a left turn so his obvious choice was to swerve left and scrape down the driver's side of my car. 
Fortunately I saw this happening so I veered right to minimize the impact.
He caught me on my driver's side door and continued until he reached my front bumper.
When he finally pulled over and stopped, he checked HIS car , was happy to see there was no damage and proceeded to proclaim"it's nothing!".
I looked at my molding lying in the street.
I asked myself"is this going to be worth the hassle?"
My insurance will take a hit.....it always does. 
Fixing one stretch of molding on my car would be like putting perfume on a pig
(it would still be a pig!).
And did I really want to deal with this obviously clueless and rude individual?
I started to pull my license from my wallet when I realized that it expired at the end of June. 
Great....if we call the cops, I'll end up with a ticket on top of everything else.
I looked at this old man who seemed annoyed that I was keeping him from whatever he had to attend to.
I asked myself"is anything good going to come out of this?"
The only answer that I could come up with is "probably not!"
I looked at my assailant ,shook my head and said " Be more careful next time".
With absolutely no response or acknowledgement,he got back in his car,sped off once again cutting across traffic . I picked up the trim from my door, placed it on the rear seat and headed off to finish my shopping for Shabbat.
The good news is after spending 2 hours at Motor Vehicle this morning I now have a new license with an updated picture of the new and improved me!
Now if I only had a good body shop!
Shabbat Shalom!
