Had a near accident this morning as i wasn't paying much attention to the traffic. The truck in front of me had a faulty brake light and I didn't notice the truck was slowing down and halting. I steered the car left, missed the truck. The motorcycle which came from my left horned at me but managed to get by me. Was really lucky for a few reasons.
1) The road was wide enough, and it was a single lane route. Should the route be narrow and I have no where to shun the truck, I'd hit the wall or the back of the truck. If I do hit the back of the truck, based on the position i stopped my car beside the truck, I would have at least lost both food, disfigure my face, rupture my lungs and probably died. My car was about engine hood length into the truck. My side mirror was almost hitting the truck. was lucky I veered left in time.
2) The motorcycle was in perfect distant and speed to react. Should he be a second, or even a fraction of a second faster, or nearer, he probably died. I would probably wouldn't want to drive again.
3) The car behind me managed to brake in time too. If he hadn't, he would hit me and probably forced my car to hit the truck in front with my face 1st into the truck. My car was parked about 45 degree from the truck. If the car behind me hit me, would probably spin my car with the driver side towards the truck.
In short, just too lucky. Luck would not always be on my side like this every single time. Try not to take each day for granted....... Although my heart raced the whole way to university, and is still racing now... pray hard i dun die of heart attack in my sleep...
