Input: Text: this happened yesterday, but as you'll find, i wasn't exactly in the mood to be posting afterwards.

in the second week of december, i bought my first car. nothing fancy, a 12-year old ford ka [(it looked pretty much like this)](http://www.pickypencil.com/uploads/4/1/6/2/4162067/4485628_orig.jpg).

i enjoyed the freedom that driving brings, and was getting to grips with how the car handled. even better was the fact that since i bought it in winter, i was getting some experience driving in icy/snowy conditions. all was going well with my little purchase.

that was, until yesterday. it was one of those days where the sun sits low, and reflects off even the slightest bit of water on the road surface. because of this, my vision was obscured as i was driving along, meaning when i saw a set of trees in the corner of my eye i thought i was about to hit them (turns out, they were miles away, but thats besides the point). i naturally adjusted my steering to avoid them, and corrected it to pull back fully into my lane. except, i was ever so slightly ambitious with the correcting, and bumped up onto the grass verge a little.

ok, maybe more than a little. a lot. a huge fucking lot. the next thing i know is, i'm flying along this verge at around 35mph, coming to a halt, about 20 meters along. *"at least i didn't hit anything"* i thought to myself as i get out of the car to see if i damaged the front end.

oh boy was i wrong. turns out, as i went up, i had managed to tear through a telephone pole. literally **right through it.** the remainder of the shattered pole, and the cable accompanying it, sat behind my car, while the stump left in the ground by it looked as though someone had taken an axe to it.

in the course of this, i obviously managed to ruin my beautiful car, rendering it useless for anything but scrap. what i purchased 3 weeks or so ago, for £800 got picked up as scrap today for £40. 

also, due to the fact that it was my fault, i'm facing a £200 and 3 penalty points on my licence. 


all of this could've been avoided had i been wearing sunglasses. folks of reddit, tifu.
