Driving was never fun. The first time in the streets it felt like all the cars, buses and trucks are on their way to hit me. Then, with all the traffic and children crossing the streets, hot summer days and hard raining nights came to join them. If things could get any worse, oil prices are constantly increasing everytime the sun comes up. Week after week after week, we have to buy even the cheapest cent just to save a little with the crude oil.
Could driving get any worst?
Oh yes, driving could get worse. Just like yesterday, just came from a meeting in Makati, and am on my way to relax myself in the mall, minding my own business when in just a second, things changed.
Coming from the flyover in quezon avenue towards philam, i saw a honda city sitting by the center island with no signal or movement. As i was about to exit the fast lane, i position my car to the right and stepped on the break slowly, but when i was about to pass by this car, i saw in my rearview mirror that it started to move towards me, so my instinct was to move further to the right to make sure that car wont hit me. But unfortunately, there was a taxi cab on my right so i just have to maintain my coarse and sure enough I heard a long "sshhhrrrrkkkkkkkkk" and tried to stop my car as soon as possible.
Stepping down my revo, there, i saw, my car as it was hit by the honda. Though my car had a long scratch and was slightly bended, the honda received the most damage. My revo's metal back bumper was caught in this collision and almost rip off the front bumper of the honda city. funny isn't it? I was the one that was hit but the honda received the most damage of them all.
Still, furious, i stepped out of my car and started asking the woman driver why she didnt wait for me to pass by before she starts to move??? her answer..."why did you slow down? you were moving fast... if you didnt not slow down i will not have hit you!" Is this a logical answer or a simple example of guilt?
Cops came to the scene and we were brought to the police station in Project 8.
One thing for sure, i"m still happy nobody got hurt, "only my pockets" said the lady driver of the honda.
