Blind at 90km/h …
Quite a horrible day. Almost died, well not really to that extend la… But I could’ve endured shit lots of pain. Not to worry, all is well now. The car windshield broke while I was driving today. Yes… it just broke with no warning. All I heard was a loud explosion and the next thing I know is that, I could see nothing in front of me. It was like being blind at 90km/h n trust me it's no fun. All I could see at that moment was a lot of small cracks on the windshield n scary sounds of glass cracking. Damnnn, I really freaked out when I heard that loud explosion. Guess it was because of a stone.
I was in the middle lane on 3 way highway doing around 90km/h when this happened. I did exactly wat everyone in their right state of mind would have done. Slowed the car, switch on the hazard light n try to stop in the emergency lane. Well the slowing down part was not that hard, switching on the hazard light was impossible, coz that damn thing doesn’t work. But the worse part was trying to stop in the emergency lane. It was quite a challenge. I looked on the left rear mirror n saw nothing, so I moved to the lane n right before I tried to enter the emergency lane I saw this huge yellow stuff in the emergency lane. I was not so sure whether that damn thing was moving really slow or was just being static in the emergency lane. As I came nearer it became obvious to me what that huge yellow stuff was, bloody hell, it was a crane moving along the emergency lane, really slow. Did the super avoiding shit n drove few hundred meters in front of the crane before I stopped the car. Damnnn, I almost rammed into that fella, but at that time I didn’t panic as how I should have, but now thinking about it, it was really a scary stuff.
Well I knew exactly wat to do at that time when I stopped the car. It was barely a week ago when my friend was in the same situation, stranded in the middle of the road because his windshield broke, just like how mine did. But at that time I was the hero la, I drove to that place n helped him to break the glass n clear it off before bringing the car to get it fixed. Well today, it was his turn to become the hero. Gave him a SOS call n after 10mins he was there, my savior. We broke the glass n drove it to the nearest shop to get it fixed. N here I am now poorer by 200 bucks n a bit sad. Told about the whole stuff to my parents n regretted immediately after that. Well I should have censored the ‘almost ramming into the crane’ part. Parents got all worried on how worse it could have been n justified the reason whey they always ask me to be careful when I’m on the road. Damnnn… Even went to temple earlier. At first I didn’t want to go n then just to make my folks feel better I just decided to go. Well I don’t blame my parents for being all worried n stuff.
Thanks god… for it’s just broken glass n everything else still intact n not the other way around.
