I was always scared of driving to NY due to NJ drivers who drive like they're blindfolded. My girlfriend has been bugging me for months to let go of that fear and take the 2hr drive.

As I've been working weekends for the last month I decided that I'd drive out to go clubbing this weekend since I was finally off. Biggest Mistake Ever!!

A man driving a pick up decided he needed to exit and wanted me out of the way so he forced me out of the way going about 70mph. His back end took out my light and pushed me into the right lane that had come to a complete stop due to heavy traffic. I slammed right into another pick up, which then slammed into the car in front of him, causing him to crash into the car in front. In total 4 cars with involved, 2 completely destroyed, everyone walked away with minor bruises. The asshole responsible didn't even slow down.

I was so scared and shaken and all I could think of is being the cause of someone's death or seriously injuring a child or elderly person or anyone for that matter. Although I was hurting I ran out my car and went to check on everyone, only to be yelled at because they believed I was the cause. An off duty officer who witnessed the accident calmed them down by explaining to them that I was forced off the road myself.

I'm thankful to be alive but petrified at the thought of getting behind the wheel again. I know I have to but I don't want to. I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want to die 😢
