I am a safe driver. I’ve never had a major accident. I’ve only received one speeding ticket and that was in college when we all liked to drive a little fast. Allstate safe-driving rebates arrive in my mailbox every six months.

But it only takes one time of not paying attention. One time of our mind wandering to the list of things “to do.” One time when we let down our guard and BAM! Our car slides into an object we swore was not there before.

That’s how this lovely hole arrived in my car’s bumper.


I wish I had a great story. You know, I turned a 360 in the snow and stopped right on the edge of a precipice. But my story is not one of adventure or daring or expert driving skill.

My story . . . I backed out of a driveway and hit a brick mailbox.

Ugh! Goodbye safe-driving record, hello deductible!
