I had my first-ever car accident today - I rear-ended into a pole and I'm honestly still shaking. No one was hurt, thankfully, but I'm not sure what to do next. This was my first car and i loved it. I was reversing it when i accidently floored into a pole. The window smashed and the rear is bent badly. I tried showing it to a mechanic and he says my next best option is to get rid of it as it is not road worthy anymore. I dont have insurance on it and i am terrified. My mind is blank and i can't think of anything else now. The car is still working but the mechanic said i won't get much out of it. If anyone's been through something like this, I could really use some advice. What steps should I take now? Appreciate any help A
