Honestly I’d have to go under hypnosis to remember all the details. Accidents are usually accidents because you never see them coming. I wasn’t distracted by music or a gabby passenger. I was paying attention. Then wham.
Yeah - I get that. Was just having a hard time figuring out how this accident happened because you said you were going 3mph, which is very very slow - which caused a lot of damage, for going so slow. Then the backup assistant took you on a rouge route into yellow pylons that should have been obvious from the rear view camera, etc - especially at such a slow rate of speed. It just seems like a litany of errors occurring on this one.
