Away from blogging for two weeks! I could have posted lot of things but I was lazy and did not put that extra effort needed to post here. I know I have to be regular here! I had faced few incidents on highways where we all were living dengerously at that moment but could save ourselves from something that could have taken away all our lives. It was definitely the sense of the guy who was driving that saved us from anything worst. One such incident happened on Friday morning while we were rushing to office.
We had Aditya driving at just over speed limits (35 MPH). It was a deep curve to the right and the traffic stopped after RED signal. It was drizzling causing the roads completely wet and the car skidded upon applying the breaks. All of us inside the car knew that he is going to hit the car but nothing that we could think of can save us. I was atleast hoping that the car in the front would pass before we kiss his car from behind. But, all that did not happen as the Friday wasn't just ours.
This is first such experience for all of us except the guy whose car was hit. The guy got down after sometime and asked, 'Guys, Are you all OK?'. Fortunately, we survived with no injuries but our car is heavily damaged. Thank GOD! The only thing that Aditya could have done is to hit the car. Any other thouhgt would have landed us in bigger trouble. He decided in the last second to drive the car into the other lane but was heavy traffic down there. In the left lane, there was a truck passing by. Oh GOD! How many random thoughts in just so short time?
We all are safe and officer charged minimum amount for not maintaining the car. Insurance representative would assess the damage on Monday and only then we will know what premium he may have to pay from now on. Just for my memory, I am posting a pic of the car after the accident.
