I can totally understand. The first car accident I got into I rear-ended a guy because he stopped in the middle of a rotary. There was no need to call 911 because no one was hurt. I knew we needed to exchange info so I did that, I inspected my car and after the guy drove off I called my parents to tell them and because I was upset. I was sooooo shaken.

Ok. Your dad's an ass. Hope you're ok!

I think you're just trying to get sympathy, you probably said that you were fine and you could still drive and la di da, and then asked if they were coming. If that's the case, then I totally understand why they wouldn't go, and if you were driving THEIR car, and maybe they only have 1, or they have another, but it's in the shop or something, the HOW do you expect them to get there?

Wow, almost all of you people are straight up assholes. The OP is clearly a young driver, using their parents' car, therefore they are most likely DEPENDENT on them. Just because they had hoped for emotional support doesn't mean they deserved to get into an accident. So for all of you who say the OP deserved it, **** you and get off this site. No one needs your negative shit. Good day.

Wow...people on here are way too quick to judge...if the OP lives in the US he or she could very well be only like 16 or 17 years old...in Germany you don't even have a license yet at that age and my parents certainly wouldn't expect me to deal with it all by myself. Plus it's not even their car, it's their parents' car and if I were them I would make sure that my kid is doing everything the right way to ensure insurance will cover it depending on what kind of accident it was. When my husband got into an accident with my car I was also the first person he called and I got there as fast as I could and I then called my Dad to ask him what all I needed to do...and my husband was 24 at that time and it was NOT his first accident...but depending on what kind of accident it was, the person may have been in shock especially if it was their first accident AND NOT THEIR CAR.

Wow, he must care about you a lot " Will you come and get me, I was in a car accident? " " Hell No!, I'm eatin' "

#34 I completely agree. Besides whats the kid to do if the car is too banged up to drive and they live in a town with little/no public transportation? They need someone to help them, and if they are under 18 then their parents job is to help them. I've had 3 cars totaled (suprisingly none my fault) and every time I have called my parents and my mom has come right away. One when I was 17, one when I was 19, and one when I was 20. Then again my mother is an attorney and insists on getting pictures of the crash scene and talking to the police personally and then suing anyone she can, so maybe its a little different because its more for legal reasons than maternal reasons. Although the first time I definately called because I wanted my mommy, lol. Car crashes can be traumatizing the first time, especially bad ones. I hope your car can be fixed OP, and that you're ok :)

I have no pity. I'm 17 and I've been in 6 car accidents (nothing to brag about, for sure). I never, ever asked my parents to come pick me up. That's what friends are for. Directly after totaling your moms car, you want to call her and inform her that you're extremely sorry, you'll be purchasing her a new vehicle promptly if insurance doesn't come through, and that you've got a towtruck on the way and you've already called the insurance company. Not, "help me i'm in shock!! what do i do?!?!?"

To all the people jumping down the writer's throat for saying "first", please, never talk again until you're 21 and at least own a car. Go to a city, and i dare you to find anyone who drives every day and and hasn't had at least 1 accident. They're either lying, or 6 years old and driving a powerwheels. To all the people saying the writer should have called 911, thats not necessary if you can exchange insurance and no one is hurt. calling 911 for ever little reason is exactly why 911 operators is a job thats always hiring, because its almost impossible to filter the actual 911 calls from people's stupidity. To anyone who sympathizes with the driver or feels the dad is in the wrong, ANYONE who uses the term "extremely upset" is obviously overreacting. There is absolutely no reason why the parents should have to go to the scene of the accident; its obviously not a serious accident, or the writer would have been calling from the hospital. If you're gonna drive on your own, deal with your own mess. You endanger the lives of every single person you pass by, if thats too much responsibility for you, get the hell off the road.

#6 & #12- Get off your freaking high horse. I'm 16 & if I EVER got into an accident, I'd probably freak out. I'd have no idea what to do so OF COURSE!!!!! I'd expect either my mom or my dad to come help me. Stop judging.
