My 1st car crash!!

I was returning from newyork after an interview .... was my first 6hrs continuous drive with no company... was 1 hr away from philly ... was supposed to take the 2nd exit 202 S flemington ...on the circle ... was in the middle lane ... and I had a lady driving a suv in the right lane ... I gave the indicator and was moving trying to move on to the right lane ... the lady in the car beside me was talking on the phone and did not look at the indicator and continued forward on the right lane ... she bumped into me ... I moved back into the middle lane .. and instead of stopping on the middle of the road ( like in India .. whn u have an accident) I continued to move and the lady kept on honking at me ... I wanted to park in a nearest parking lot so that the cops could come and we could sort out the matter in a calmer way instead of blocking the traffic at the circle ....the lady got down near the parking lot and started yelling at me ...saying that I cannot run away like that .. I clarified that I did not want to block the intersection and requested her to call the cops ... cops came she saw the car scratches ( very minor ) on both the cars ... and she told that it was a very minor thing and she sees it happen everyday ... she took down the license numbers of both the drivers... finished the paper work and told that the report would be available for viewing withing 7-10 days .... I came back home exhausted but.....
