I don't believe in excuses, only alibis. So here's mine.
Not use to the car, excited, & nervous. The main thing is that here in middle Tennessee the roads I'm on generally are 2 lane, winding back roads. With about 1 foot of dirt shoulder before it drops very steeply into huge Oak trees. So being a little nervous, all my attention was on the road its self.
I'm not real used to that kind of roads. The part of New Mexico where I've spent most of my life if you do go off the road there is no drop off. And if you are going to hit a tree you'd have to stop and plant one first.
