I hate you!

2 April 2007 - by Simone

Dear blonde man who was driving a little bluey-turquoise coloured car north along Macquarie Street in Sydney in February 2003 and who decided that in order to arrive at his destination 0.3 seconds earlier he needed to swerve around the rear end of a bus travelling in the opposite direction which was turning right into Hunter Street, thereby ending up entirely on the wrong side of the road and having a head on collision with a taxi immediately behind the bus in which I was a passenger,

I hate you. Seriously, I do. Four years later I still spend time almost every day in some degree of head and neck pain, from minor to major, and requiring painkillers, from a few to many.

For a period last year I had one single headache for TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT - all because of you! When things aren’t settled I feel like my life is going in slow motion. The hassle and disruption it causes me is immense, even putting aside the pain.

Last year I was assessed to be 11% permanently incapacitated as a result of your utter stupidity. Yep, the damage to my spine looks to be permanent. Thanks for that!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I really do hate you. And that I still think of you on an almost daily basis - even though I don’t even know your name (just your registration number). It’s almost romantic, don’t you think? Except it’s not.

That is all.

  1. I’m so sorry to hear about this. It makes me angry to know that some people are so careless and stupid with their cars, as well as other people’s lives for that matter. I doubt he realizes the impact of that day. He should have to suffer as you do as punishment for his actions.
    I feel for you.

  2. Well, I was thinking about this man yesterday (yet again) and the fact that he probably has no idea what happened to me as a result of what he did given that everything just goes through insurance companies.

    So I thought maybe if I wrote a blog post about it at least there’s a teeeeeensy chance that one day he might search for something to do with the accident and find it. And if not, at least I can daydream about it!

  3. You have my full sympathy,neck & back pain is awful, I was in an accident some years ago - a large van went into the back of my car and caused me neck & back damage which has never got better, I do go to a fab chiropractor every couple of months & that keeps me mobile and reduces the pain, but I can’t help wondering what all the painkillers are doing to my liver!!. I bet the guy in the van never thinks about it anymore, I think about it nearly everyday - I hope karma really does work

  4. Very nice site, i love it!

  5. Hehe! Good work!
