Swimming lessons.
I must have been about 8 years old and my dad was in charge of me that afternoon. It was time for my weekly swimming lesson and in his usual style, my dad was in a hurry.

The swimming pool was only about 5 minutes away by car so I got in and didn't bother with my seatbelt. (I was 8 and stupid & clunk click with every trip didn't apply to me. I thought.) My dad didn't realise this.

It would have all been fine if my dad didn't have to make an emergency stop because of some guy shooting out of side street on the right. But he did, which made me hit my head on the front window.
After shouting at the man a lot, my dad asked me if I was ok. I had a bit of a bump on my head and was fine but the window had a large crack in it.

I guess I have a hard head, or the window was just really soft? Anyway, I'm glad I didn't go through it & after that I always put my seatbelt on like a good girl.
