Yep, and it could have been so much worse.
There was a telephone pole just beyond where I stopped the car. The ditch was much deeper in another spot than where I was. And there was the possibility of a roll over if the car had gone too far.
The irony, if it can be called that, is I got a note from the lady deciding she didn't want to proceed further with our interaction. Just goes to show, ya can do all the right stuff, including put your car and self at risk to go home, and still stuff doesn't work out. Not having gotten hurt and my car being ok or not, didn't come up in the note, even though she had been made aware of it, so onward, and upward.
