I told myself that there was no way I was driving on that road at night... But last night before I knew what I was doing, I was on that road. I slowed way down and talked myself through it. I was driving like 35 with eyes peeled. stupid, I'm sure... but I needed to. I can tell myself that I'm fine, but it REALLY freaked me out. My knuckles hurt once I got to the stop sign, well away from where my accident was. I released the steering wheel and stretched my hand... I hadn't realized I had been griping the steering wheel that tightly.
I needed to, I think. At some point, I'd need to, and why not, right? I'll be cautious for some time on that road, I'm sure, but I needed to drive it again at night.
