Also, she feels better today and has gone to her work Christmas do in a taxi. It will do her good to forget about it.

Goodness me I hope that doesn't happen to her as she has the M25 to contend with.

Oh so at least she doesn't have to go over 30 then Actually the best way to 'get over it' is to keep up with motorway driving. I started working in Swindon, 60 miles away, and got to know every wobble intimately until they stopped bothering me.

TBH my daughter just wants to forget about it now and she told me we should stop talking about it and let the insurance company deal with it. I've just been busy having arguments with people on here and can't stop. Not sure why. I ought to make a cup of cocoa and read my book in bed instead but can't concentrate.

It's addictive, innit? I get so upset sometimes with threads where people just jump down your throat and start abusing you with no real knowledge of what they're commenting on... and yet I just can't help coming back to see what they've said next so I can get upset all over again! :rotfl:

She knows she was driving carefully. I think you know if you are being dangerous on a road and that is not her.

I 'knew' I was driving carefully, I 'knew' I was not being dangerous, but I still crashed head on into another car. It's the times you don't know about that are the dangerous ones. I really would get her to mention the memory loss to her GP, it might be totally normal but it's still worth getting it checked out. I wish I had mentioned the confusion and small gap in memory after my first minor car accident to my GP, but I didn't as I assumed it was due to shock. It wasn't.

Yes and you feel you have to have the last word and thats all you are going to say then someone comes back and says something you just have to reply to.

She was examined at the hospital. They told her that memory loss after an accident was common after a head injury which she has. She has a whacking great bump on her head with a long cut on it. She is remembering more and more detail about what happened now.

I cant remember all the details of how I managed to run over a pheasant the other day, how it got into the middle lane without the car in the inside lane hitting it. When something happens that quickly it is not always possible to remember it exactly afterwards.

Ohh yes. I can definitely see where she's coming from there.

Haven't you got anything better to do than take cheap shots at someone who is obviously worried for her daughter?

Get a life, for goodness sake.
