Naw you showed that bitch what was up. Maybe not a wise move for your own sake, but you did the right thing for society as a whole and put a disrespectful piece of shit in her place.

Well, except not really.

First, it's an expensive mistake, that's a legit reason to be upset. Second, it was a "dumb" mistake. I'm not coming down on OP, but finding out how anxious a driver your kid is at this point is also stressful.

And, last - this accident was a no harm one, but it could easily have been vastly worse. that kind of thing is also upsetting to a parent.

Now, if Dad holds this over them forever, he's out of line, but being upset for a day or so? not really out of line.

I once took the cheapest available price to get from Scotland to Australia to see someone. 56 hours door to door. Connections were so shit that I didn't sleep at all. I was afraid that if I fell asleep I'd be robbed. Trip went from Scotland to London, London to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to China, China to Australia. On the way back the same.

Learn the three strokes rule.

1st time, tell the bully to back off.

2rd time tell teacher/responsible adult and familly.

3rd time, beat the crap out of the bully. It will never be a 4th and you already covered your arse by telling the teacher.

I don't think you could have killed her going 10mph or whatever from a yield. You'll be fine, the family is just freaked out because car accidents can kill people so they obviously want you safe. Just try to remember in the future, it doesn't matter if you miss a turn or have to take a longer route, it's fine. Being a few minutes late isn't the end of the world, this is just an early (and relatively non-life changing) lesson. Try to keep calm in the future and just decide how to re-route if something changes, don't worry about the few minutes lost.

I don't have a quick temper, or much of one at all, but I still remember this pretty vividly.

In middle school, I was friends with two guys, (i was 13M or so at this time?) the same age. It was lunch and this kid was sitting on these concrete steps and kept scooting over and pushing me off the edge (or trying to) and singing some song from Futurama (Johnny cracked corn and bender is great was one of the lines or something). I was stressed and after the 2nd or third time of this kid pushing me off. I just stood up, grabbed his hair in one hand and punched him in the face as hard as i could with the other. He started crying and I got sent to the principals, which oddly enough still did that physical punishment stuff so I got to experience getting hit with a weird wood plank/board thing in 2005, felt a bit archaic.

I don't think we remained friends after that and he had a black eye for a few days, luckily i moved shortly after.

Anyways, point of it is, don't feel bad, this really won't be much more than a blip and a story to mention down the road. We all have a breaking point and sometimes it's just that unlucky person that accidentally got us there. You'll learn from it and likely have more restraint in the future.
