That sucks dude. I'm glad you're alright though. When starting out driving, you really need to learn to pay attention to everything around you, and to not get in a hurry! Be patient, and take your time. Just because you have your license doesn't mean you're a good driver. Sorry if I sound like I'm preaching to you, but I see so many kids that just get their license and act like they know everything there is to know about driving. Usually they end up in an accident, or causing an accident. Driving is a huge responsability. You have to power to kill and the vulnerability to be killed. As long as you understand that, and respect the priviallage that has been given to you, you'll be ok. Good luck with getting the car fixed.
