Personal Narrative: My Car Accidents

1332 Words6 Pages

Over the course of highschool I've been in numerous car accidents. I first went through Driver's Ed, passed, got my school permit, but then my first accident occurred.

The same procedure for my previous accident was followed by proceeding to exchange insurance info, call the police, and call my mom while also calling a tow truck due to the damage of my vehicle. I was issued a $195 ticket for failing to stop and yield to traffic. My mom wasn’t thrilled about the entirety of the incident. I was car-less for about 2 weeks. I had to rework my work schedule to weekends until my car got fixed. My boss was able to meet my wishes

He supports his argument by presenting some evidence, however, there can be a number of flaws in his argument, rendering it unconvincing.
