He stood by the side of the road, shaking and shaken, trying to listen to the policeman’s questions.
“And when you….. blah blah blah….parked car…… blah blah blah……. Sir, are you listening?”
He snapped back for a moment, “Yes, yes, Officer.”
“Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“No, no Officer.”
The Policeman looked skeptical. “One more time. When you pulled into the lane, did you see the parked car before or after you hit it?”
He shook his head, confused.
“A simple question, sir. Before or after you hit the parked car?”
“But Officer, my car is the parked car!”

It always is. I was hit – in a brand new car – by a tractor trailer truck. Luckily I was stopped at a light and he was slowing down. Just not fast enough.

I’ve been hit twice while parked, one time the offender tried to blame me for the accident. Soon gave up mind, whatever the circumstances, there is no viable reason to hit a stationary object
