Seriously… people should learn how to drive. I almost got hit today because someone ran the stop sign. So… I was driving happily when suddenly I saw a car zooming through the alley on my left. Naturally, I eased off the gas as a precaution.. even though I had the right of way and didn’t have the stop sign. As my car’s hood reached the intersection, I saw that the person ran the stop sign and his car was about 1/5 way through the intersection. I immediately (instinctively) floored the gas pedal. I swear the next 2 seconds took forever. I felt every millisecond of the turbo lag before the car lunged forward. At the same moment, I heard the tire screech from the other car. For a couple of seconds there, I sat and wait to see whether I made it past the intersection or not. It turned out that I did… But you know what’s funny? there was a police car coming in the opposite direction of me. Well.. obviously, the guy got pulled over. I sat in my seat a little shaken for about 15 seconds before I drove off. I wondered what would have happened if I hit the brake instead of the gas. That probably would have put me right in the middle of that intersection. I’m glad nobody got hurt.. but I hope that they were penalized for it. People should really pay attention when they drive. You know.. you can always fix or replace a car.. but you cannot replace a human life. I don’t think that anyone would want to live through a guilt of having run someone over. I know I wouldn’t….
