| I had a HUGE scare today. I almost got into the biggest car accident of my life....I'm shaken up by it. See, the off ramp onto the South 15 from my house is probably the most dangerous road I know. Why? Because practically everyday, there is always someone parked, stopped, or stalled in at least one of the freeway lanes. There is no place to pull over, so what do they do, they stop in the middle of the freeway! Okay, so I was driving over to On The Border at around 10 at night. I'm going 80 miles per hour on the freeway, all of a sudden, I notice something coming up in front of me real fast, and I realize at the last minute that it is a car, stopped in the middle of the freeway, without its lights on! So what do I do? I fucking swerve over to the next lane, break really hard, almost hit a car, lose complete control of my vehicle, swerve back into my previous lane, and end up facing oncoming traffic....I'm shaking now, I can smell the burning rubber of my new tires, cars are slowing down since they might hit me, and all I can think about is how I could have almost died right then, right there. First of all, I've never been so scared in my life. Second, who the fuck parks or stops their car in the middle of the freeway, without their fucking lights on!! All I can do now is thank GOD that I'm still alive, and be the most defensive driver in the world....I dunno if I'll be driving fast again....at least for awhile.....goodness gracious.....
It's when things like this happen, that you realize how easily your life can be taken away.....and then you start to realize all of the things you had once taken for granted. I just hope you realize it for you, before it's too late. |
