Prepping doesn’t stop chaos, but it sure makes my job easier when folks have their stuff together.
Couldn’t agree more. My first accident, I was a total mess—couldn’t find my insurance card, phone at 5%, and of course, the tow truck guy needed everything right then. Now I keep a folder in the glove box and a backup in my email. Also, snacks. Trust me, waiting for insurance on an empty stomach is its own kind of pain.
I get the whole prepping thing, but honestly, I feel like no matter how much I try to plan, something always goes sideways. Like, I had all my paperwork in the glove box, but then I was so frazzled after my first fender bender that I just blanked on where anything was. Snacks are smart, but I’d probably forget those too if I’m stressed. Maybe it’s just me, but I kinda think you can’t ever be totally ready for that first accident...
