WAKE UP CALL!!!
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 2:45 am
First day driving alone today and I almost hit someone! I was in the left turn lane for a parking lot, this idiot in a Honda turned his blinker on well before 150ft for the main light he was heading to, and I assumed he was turning into the apartment complex. Well, he slowed down quite a bit, like jerking a bit, and so I figured he was either turning right or u-turning. WRONG. We almost hit each other, and if it wasn't for my good brakes, something bad would have happened. That right there was my wake up call, and from now on, I will be a much safer driver. What scared me the most, was there was a COP at the light, and I was waiting for him to turn around with sirens blaring to give me a ticket for reckless driving. Never happened, but I'm still shaken.
My car is too precious to die! My $452 a year insurance is too precious to lose! But here's the kicker - "Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons" had JUST finished playing, and some of the lyrics go:
And it was your life on the line
I really f****d it up this time
Didn't I my dear
Had I crashed, my driving career would have been over just like that. But thank god it didn't happen. *prays it won't happen again*
On another note, $20 of gas gets me roughly 6.5 - 6.8 gallons of gas...LAME! It's almost filled up completely, however. I'm assuming it's a 10 or 11 gallon tank..not sure...
