@peonnguyen42 #Great Falls – I do not want to publish it here, but his position was unacceptable. This is why I am sharing this with everyone so if his friends and family see this. Today I got into a car accident. This guy slammed my car hard from behind as I stopped at a red light. His car hit me so hard that I hit my head on the steering wheel and the car drove towards it. When I go out to talk to him about what happened, he then starts acting up and saying something racist to me while I’m trying to get his information. Then he tried to make up an excuse to take his daughter and I am calling the police and I want to run away.! What will you do in this situation??? 😭😟👹 Virginia Court # Virginia #dmv #Washington, DC # Oh, Lord #racist #racism # Maryland ♬ original sound – peomy
