my mom had a car accident yesterday. the sun was in her eyes and she lifted her hand to block the sun and in that moment lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into a tree. she is fine (other than some bruising from the seatbelt and the airbag), but her car is beyond repair. i only learned about it when she was already back home, so it was clear that nothing happened to her ... still, the thought of my mom in a car that has fallen to the side ... she says she won't drive on sunny days, anymore, her medication makes her eyes very sensitive ...

Rikita, that news must have shocked you. Scary how quickly an accident can happen.

Glad your mum is OK, rikita. She is likely a little shook up still though. Does she wear sunglasses? If not, perhaps a pair of sunglasses and a baseball cap/visor will help her feel more confident to drive again on sunny days. Does she know to always look forwards and down at the road guiding line if suddenly blinded by sunlight? It might take some encouragement and a patient, calm passenger such as yourself, but it would be good for her to keep her independence and confidence to continue driving (assuming you think she can do so safely).

No serious injuries and no other casualties is a welcome outcome given the severity of the accident.
It is a worry for you all.

good that your mom is ok, rikita. Was she checked by a doctor? and I agree with lumi about sunglasses.

thanks everyone! yes, she was taken to the hospital to get checked right after the accident ... she does wear sunglasses, but apparently they don't help that much, might ask her about the other things next time i see her ... but there is also a train station very nearby with local trains every 20 mins, and she is also still able to cycle shorter routes, so when she doesn't drive she is still able to get to places independently ...

60 Years ago this week. At No 1 was "She Loves You" and without much much a do "Come On" peaked at No 21 in the UK charts. But which band lasted?

If a whisky makes you frisky and a brandy makes you randy, what makes you pregnant? A stiff Johnnie Walker.
