Either they are already stupid or crazy or they turn that way once they start to drive.  I was hit by a car once too, many years ago and ended up with stitches in my right leg and experiencing an emotional ordeal that I would not wish on anyone.  I am glad you weren't hurt worse and I hope you are spared that ordeal.  Thank God you are ok.
