TOP OF THE DAY

14 November 2006

As some of you know right, I passed my driving practical last Friday



The joy was short lived. I almost immd ( 2nd time driving my dad car ) invovled in an accident last night when I wanna go fetch my sister from work with my dad and mum.

I was about to come out of the parking lot when this grey van suddenly appeared in front of me. I didn't know it was coming, because there is this lorry so tall beside me. I have to move out alittle to see what's coming from my right, I haven't even step on the accelerator, I only put half clutch when the van appeared. So you can't say that I was too fast and reckless, in fact why the van travelled so fast in the car I don't know. But still I know its my fault. Got illustration to make it clearer


Blue- My car
White - The van
Grey - The huge ass lorry

I couldn't do much other than to zham brake. But the damage was done. There was 2 lines of scratch on the van and my bumper's paint was peeled off, and part of my car plate crack. Cnsidered lucky already, if I inched in another cm, I think my head will be flattened, and the damages would definitely soar.

Take it as a lesson learnt lor :( lucky its not very expensive one. If its Mercs I die! Little little things cost you a bomb + mercs drivers (almost) all so guai lan one. This will teach me to be more careful next time :/ but super traumatised! I am like still raw then this happened. papa but ppl don't be scared if I do drive next time k! It's just an isolated accident!!
