I am so dead. Infact, i'm deader than dead. Today, I drove out to get some lunch and drop my aunt at the hair salon. I turned into a lane and I realised I was going the wrong way and moments later, a car was coming at me from the direction I was haeding to. So I decided to do a 3-point-turn and that's when i accidentally hit a parked motorcycle. Key word being 'accidentally'. Like I said, i'm so dead.
The motorcycle was parked and unattended. I waited a while but there was no one who came to claim it. There were people who I believe saw the incident. So, I decided to drive away. And I still can't believe I did that.
Of course I checked on the motorcycle first before leaving. There was a minor scratch on it, but the damage on my car was worse. Ironic, I know. But it's not as bad compared to the accident as I had last year lah. And that's pretty much why i'm so dead dead.
But right now, i'm just so wrapped up in guilt. It's the worst feeling in the world apart from the feeling of anger and animosity towards myself for not being more observant. So now am i supposed to just move and put aside this incident and then sooner or later let reality sneak up on me and bite me in the tushy? Or should I sulk on the moment and let the guilt engulf me whole as I dive head-first into an endless pit of depression?
What should I do?

Don't kill yourself over it. 'Twasn't your fault. Things like that happen. Would they call them accidents if not? You can't expect to see everything all the time.
At least you didn't total the bike... which was something... or did you? :-)
And you did wait around at least. Most people would have just gone off immediately without a second thought.
aiyoh... dont blame yourself so much... it is an accident. It was just a minor scratch, the person might not even notice that. And you did wait there at least.
or you can go back and leave a note say i'm sorry or something. or even leave down your contact number if you feel really really guilty and you think you have the responsibility to fix it for the person.
cheer up!! =)
I agree. The fact that you waited counts. Like what your friend said, most people wouldn't even bother to wait. So you already did him a favor and waited.
By the way, I didn't know you got into an accident last year. When was it? =P
oi!! My first hit and run. I really RUN!!! AHAHA!!!
My 2nd time I left my number at his car. SAD! But yea....
just do a prayer.. it's an accident.. nobody wants it to happen.. i totally understand how u feel.. but in my case it's a much minor thingi compared to yours..
Okay then, so I guess i'm just supposed to move on instead of crying over spilt milk.
THANKS you guys so much!
oii! tell me abt ur 1st accident! Why was I not told of this???!?
