Reply to comment by technicolourful in Flock of turkeys outside Harvard Sq (and my own idiocy) had me total my car today by [deleted]

Yep, it has a speed limit of 25 mph :( I was on an adjacent street with the same citywide limit and I don’t estimate I was going faster than 30-35 mph (edit: but don’t have a way to know for sure)

You could have killed someone. Here's my advice: declare the car a total loss, or learn the fucking rules of the road. If a turkey distracts you, what are you doing with your phone while driving?

Appreciate the feedback, and yes, someone could have been very badly hurt by me following so close. A terrifying and humbling teaching moment for sure 😔

My whole body hurts this evening and I can’t imagine what it’s like for the poor people in front of me.

(Turkeys in the road made the 2 cars around the bend stop abruptly. And I crashed into the car in front of me. A huge mistake looking at the phone map. Someone could’ve gotten so much more badly hurt.)
