I'm sure everyone has done some stupid things from one time to another. Unfortunately, some suffer consequences, some more serious than others. I'm glad that you're okay.
Personally, I'm on my last chance because insurance is a killer. 2 1/2 years ago some dumbass kid decided that he wanted me to stop by stepping in the road when I'm going 80km/h. Instead of killing him, I swerved and wedged between a tree and a pole. Approx $3500CDN damage. About 3-4 months ago, I basically "tapped" some guy in an old MR2 in a parking lot. Did $1200CDN to him, $500CDN to myself. My car was getting fixed, and I had a 2001 Sentra as a rental car. I was driving too fast and it was a little wet, slid, hit a pole, did $7000CDN damage. My insurance quote for next year was around $11,000/year. I'm gonna have to wait until the first one expires, and pay off the second incident, to bring it down to around $2400/year. Fun fun!
Sorry for the long post, but sometimes people just have to crash to actually learn something. It seems there are some prime examples of that right here in this forum.

BTW, were you charged with anything, and how is this going to affect your insurance?
