Rear-ended.
Hello all,
I'm a first-time driver today, and of all days, I also got rear-ended whilst driving my Yaris while stopped at an intersection--three times (the lady's explanation was that she had a foot spasm and so her foot let go three times). My car moved each time and that's when I stepped out of the car to check and there wasn't any dent at all on my rear bumper and there's only a slight scratch mark on the very bottom by the license plate. At home, I checked the bumper and it seemed to be good, not about to fall out, although I start to move it up and down and seemed to be very slightly loose (I dunno if that's normal). Anyway, I let it go, seeing as her car didn't have any dent either and she must have been going at ~5 miles. Still, I'm shaken since this is technically my first "accident." My question to you all here is, since I'm paranoid, should I check anything in my car that would compromise safety after the incident? I've read that internal damages could happen very often with these kinds of incidents. Also, would this kind of incident damage the motor? Like I said, I'm lowlier than a noob right now and I just want some enlightenment and assurance. Thanks to you all in advance. |
