I've always wanted to get into an accident, but i didn't want to get hurt.
I just wanted to get admitted to the hospital and see who would care to pay me a visit.
- Yours Truly
You know, i've always taken the phrase, 'be careful what you wish for' for granted since it never really did apply to me.
Not until this very day.
Today i had the honour of experiencing it first-hand, in a not so fortunate way, however.
Yes,
I got myself into an accident.
Funny thing is, it was a lady driver whom i got into an accident with.
And the ironic part was, though i've been persuaded by various sources, i never really had any grudges on lady drivers despite the well-known fact that they're famous for being, well, lady drivers, since i've never driven a car before, so i don't really know how they are on the road.
Well, after going through one heck of a trauma, i'm pretty much convinced that lady drivers really are, lady drivers.
Now i apologize if some of you female readers may be a tad bit or otherwise pretty offended by my condemnation, yeah sure i may be just being the kiasu malaysian we all are and just condemn for the sake of our ego & reputation.
However that isn't the case, i assure you.
That is unless cutting into someone's lane by turning LEFT into a junction when you're on the FAR RIGHT of the lane at the LAST MINUTE is totally legal & right, then by all means do ignore my condemnation.
And you can go pay a visit to a psychiatrist while you're at it.
So here's pretty much what happened.
I was on my way to squash practice, minding my own business on the road, and then OH MY GOODESS A CAR COMES OUT OF ITS LANE AND FRIGGIN CUTS YOU AT THE LAST MINUTE. like:
Blue = Yours Truly minding his own business
Red = Lady driver
Black deformed circles = cars minding their own business
EH = English House
RT = RT Cake House
MB = Maybank
PB = Public Bank
Yes, that is the first SS15 junction, go straight down and you'll see Mcdonald's on your left at the 2nd junction.
As far as i'm concerned, you're supposed to be on the LEFT side of the road if you're going to turn in. but nooo, you just had to turn in from the RIGHT side of the road at the LAST MINUTE.
So i tried to weave and dodge it, assuming she would continue cutting without pressing the brakes.
BUT OH NOOO, YOU JUST HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES FOR WHATEVER REASON AND STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRIGGIN ROAD.
So i smashed her back light nicely and started losing my balance.
Next thing i know, i was on the ground.
In the middle of the road.
I got up instantly without any hesitation as i didn't want to get mangled up by incoming vehicles, and pushed whatever is left of my bike to the side of the road.
Immediately after that, pain & trauma kicks in, my hands were trembling as if i'm suffering some sort of spasm and fresh blood started oozing out from my thighs.
That however, worried me the least, what i feared the most was in fact my parents' reaction when they find out that i got myself into an accident, the cost, the lectures and worst of all, the banning of me riding the bike. OH THE HORRORR.
All that being said, i still manage to escape it in one piece, and i truly thank God for protecting and taking care of me all these while. That could've easily been the end of the line for me, and i'm truly lucky to be able to dodge the bullet. God is great, Hallelujah.
Moral of the story?
DON'T FRIGGIN MESS WITH THE PHRASE 'be careful what you wish for' and be very, VERY careful of lady drivers.
The aftermath shall remain behind closed doors, if you really want to know, come and find and ask me. Personally.
Okay, that's all for now. D:
Yours Truly, scarred. Literally.
