crash control
i'm writing this out right now because i know i'll forget to write about it later.
today, i saw the most insane thing: well not exactly first hand. but the aftermath of it. you'll get what i'm saying by the end of this. can u really expect me to be coherent at 2:58 in the morning? i didn't think so.
imagine a car on the highway in the far right lane, it loses control, starts veering to the left. so far left that it hits the median between the collector lanes and the express. hitting this median, causes the car to spin a full 180 degrees so it is facing the flow of traffic, where it finally comes to a stop. hissing and smoking and blocking two lanes, did i mention he was facing the oncoming traffic? this is the explanation i got from Mrs. Bee, i first hand saw the wreck, only 3 cars ahead of us.
one can only imagine what was going on in the driver's mind, from the moment he first lost control and then came to a stop. and only the horrors of thinking you're on the highway and the cars are coming at you headlights blaring at 120 km/h.
i'd be scared. shitless. scared mother freakin shitless. but i'm sure he was just happy to be alive. oh yes, he was alive. looked just fine as we attempted to stop by him.
i guess the rambling on about this story only leads me to say. be careful driving. that man and his passenger were really lucky, but you can't base everything on luck.
