Today, this morning approximately 7:20 A.M.
A student driver was on his way to school in a hurry. Everything was fine until something happend. Ahead was a Toyota Corolla in front of him and a bridge tht leads to his school. Before entering the bridge the student slowed down to have the Corolla go further away from him. When the time was right but was really wrong the student than sped up the bridge. As he did so, focused as he is, he noticed the corolla slammin hard on his brakes making the car come to an almost complete stop.

The surprised student used his brakes to slow down at all possible costs to avoid an accident. Challenging the turn at 60 mph, 10 mph lesser than he normally do, two types of collision could happen but neither is unavoidable due to the way both drivers were driving at that time. One of the possibility of collision is the student hitting the rear of the corolla because it was doing around 10 mph. Now, as the two cars almost uniting the corolla than sped up and flee'd leading the student to suffer from another problem. The students car started to lose control. He described it felt like the car was drifting but says that the experience is unlike normal driving.

As the car losted control the driver did not think for a split second to use the e-brake which might've saved his car. But the time happened so fast that it is impossible to think. From the students vivid memory he states to us how it happend. "First the car was going really strong turning left on a right-turn bridge. So i with two hands immediately turned the steering wheel to the right and bam it was going hard on the right than i went left and near the exit i hit the ramp with his front bumper. The damage was pretty devastating. Both the low and high beams on the driver's side are completely busted. The front bumper is wounded.

Shocked, the student quickly drove off to find a place to stop to check on his cars damage. As he parked his car on the right side curb and his heart began to beat unevenly. "I am in deep crap" saying to himself. Many blinding questions fill his mind that cause him to lose focus of school and all he wants to do is think about it right now at this moment. Time does fly in situations like this. He did managed to arrive right on time.

All in all, although that could've been avoided if he went the other route. But no one can see the future...

Jinxed? I've had a bad feeling about this when i first drove in it and that something might happen.

Foretold? Unexplainable..

Maybe it wasn't jinx itself(if it exists). It was my stupidity.

My parents are gonna really screw me up. Since i'm asian i'll be getting a longggg lecture and everything. You know what it is.

I'm soo stunned now that I think the way i'm writing/saying/feeling is different today.

I don't even know what to say right now to you guys. I'm very sorry.

Unfortunately ive had a rough moment lately too.....i dunno why all this crap is happening.

I actually just got my lisence about 4 months ago, but ive already learned some relaly important lessons that im glad ive come to grips with now, and not later when its too late or something. Some a$$ decided that itwas a good idea to stop in the lane of oncomming traffic at night and stop to get his mail. He even dimmed his lights, acknowledging that he saw me comming, and he was driving towards his mailbox in my lane as soon as i peaked over a hill frown.gif Scared the lving crap outta me, i was sure that he would smash into me head on, so i turned into a guys yard as a last ditch effort not to collide with him. Ends up he was stopping for his mail in my lane.....point of story is, i learned that even though driving this nice little car makes it enticing to rip though the gears and just have fun, you realy gotta watch yourself, be patient, and drive defensively, because some people just suck at driving, and have no common sense. rolleyes.gif

Thats my story......im sorry to hear about everyone else who wasnt as fortunate and sustained damage/injury. Just be carful guys, life isnt a race, and just look out, thats all.
