Hit again!

I know I'm not a great driver, but what is it about me that gets me hit by others, and it's not my fault? My 1st hit was when I was in San Diego a long time ago, stopped at a red light behind an SUV. A youngster hit me from behind when he failed to see the light in time because he was changing a CD. I was squished between the 2 cars. Came out sort of OK, but that was the biggest hit. Then there was the jeep that was hit when I started going through an intersection when the light turned green. A car (which I think was running a red) hit a motorcycle, and coming out of that, hit me (and Tesla) in the jeep.

I did drive out of our driveway once and hit someone driving down our street. That was totally my fault, so I should mention that.

But then yesterday, again I was rear-ended on hwy 101. Luckily, traffic had just slowed down so it wasn't at high speed, but the woman behind me somehow failed to stop. She claims her breaks weren't responding. Again, Tesla was with me. The impact wasn't too big, but still a shock to the system. Tesla started crying. She perked up as soon as she saw me smiling, singing songs, and pretending all was good even though I was shaking and calling Dav to have him walk me through what to do. I was in the fast lane, so we were stuck on the hwy until the police came to stop traffic and we could drive to the other side.

Dear auto-accident angels: Can I have a break?

[update]
Went to the auto car place and it turns out quite a lot of damage is underneath, not immediately noticeable. 2+ weeks to fix! Dav and I thought I could still totally drive the car until the place could fix it quickly, but the guy said, nope. No more driving. I have a rental now so it's not bad, but my goodness. Shows how good the Subaru Outback is. Didn't feel that much, and it really absorbed the impact well.
