Did I learn a lesson?


I met a man in uniform today. I almost ran him over on the road. Scary!!!!!.If I look at my experience today as a learning experience I could say I learned making a lane change when a motorcycle police officer is in you blind spot is a very bad idea. This lesson will cost me $100.00. It could have been worse.I'm so thankful the "worse" did not happen. The part I am having such a difficult time accepting is the fact I did not see the police officer.We are all human and capable of error. I was not in a hurry, upset,eating,speeding,talking on the cell phone,sleepy or anything else I could attribute any blame. I apologized to the officer but I'm not convinced I can change anything in the future. I want to think I can learn something from this situation. I try in everything I do to think about others and care about helping and not hurting. I have to accept that I am capable of failure. The blessing is no harm occured and I will pay more attention in the future. Boy I wish the lesson didn't cost $100.00,but I'm glad my lesson didn't cost the police officer a higher price.I will send my check in and move on and hope I dont have any expensive lessons to learn in the near future
