wspaper and on television every day.

There are more frequently caused by reckless

drivers rather than faulty vehicles. Last Saturday, while I was travelling from Ipoh, I
witnessed a serious accident. The scene of the accidents was vivid in my mind.

A motorcyclist was following behind was taxi very closely. He was so

impatient that he was trying to overtake my taxi even near a sharp bend. At that
critical moment, there was an oncoming car. The taxi driver swerved to the roadside
and I got a terrible jolt. It was too late for the motorcyclist to avoid the car. His
motorcycle ran against the bumper of the car and smashed its windscreen. The
motorcyclist somersaulted over the car and was found lying in a pool of blood. It
was a scene to chill the flesh! The car driver, who was cut by the flying glass, was in
a state of shock. All that happened in split second and fear overwhelmed us.

The taxi driver stopped his taxi and I quickly ran to the nearest to the
nearest telephone booth to inform the police and the hospital. From a distance I
could see some people trying to help the injured motorcyclist and the car driver.
They carried them into one of the onlookers car and sent them to the hospital for
treatment. Meanwhile the taxi driver tried to control and directs the traffic. Soon the
police arrived and they promptly took some measurements and evidence. After that
they moved the damaged car and the motorcycle to the roadside to ease the traffic
congestion. They also took down the evidence provided by witnesses and onlookers.
Some sweepers were clearing the debris and the blood stains on the road.

When the taxi finally continued the journey, I silently thanked God for my
narrow escape. I learned a good lesson that impatience and recklessness would
bring harm and danger. I was happy to see that Malaysians are public-spirited and
they render help to others readily. Since then I remember and follow the saying
more haste less speed and prevention is better than cure. I believe good road
manners and roads safety campaigns can help to reduce the number of road
accidents which cause injuries, loss and lives and properties.

Free Online English Dictionary and Thesaurus First of all, I must say that I could never fancy
how ten seconds of life could change a person's view on his whole existence. I experienced the
scariest moment in my life. That was the month I faced my very first car accident. It is a moment I
will never forget.
I neared my home and decided to stop by the gas station to pick up some drinks and some
gum. I made a right turn onto the street, and since it was a corner, I had to drive onto the merging
lane on the other side of the street once the traffic light had turned green. I was never sure how it had
happened, whether it was my fault or the other drivers fault, but I blacked out for a few seconds and

reacted too slowly. What

was worse, I accelerated
instead of braking. I had
just made it across the
intersection and was in
the merging lane when a
silver car, larger than
I

mine, had attempted to

cross the merging lane
into a parking lot. I was
traveling too fast and I
crashed,
causing
the
front of my car to
become more like an
accordion.
I was in a shock and
the world stopped for me
for a few minutes. The
driver of the other car
had gotten out of his car
and asked if I was okay.

That is when I noticed

the large crack in the
windshield. Apparently, I
had not put on my
seatbelt and had cracked
the window with my
head. it was like being
punched
by
a
professional boxer. We
moved the cars into the
parking lot and the other
driver had already called
the police. One police car
had already arrived on

the scene by the time we

had parked both cars.
The crash had caused the
front driver door to bend
and so I was unable to
step out. I was forced to
walk out through the
passenger door and step
out as the cop asked us
for our information. The
police officer asked for
my drivers license and
my
insurance
information. I had given

it to him as my other
arrived at the scene. I
was so terrified that I
sort of lost my tongue for
a while, since this was
the first time I had been
in a car crash.
I had experienced my
first car crash, and I was
shaken up about it for
about two weeks. My
father, unenthusiastically,
took care of the car
repair and gave my car

back
after
about
a
month. I was back on the
road with much more
wariness. Whether it is a
simple
fender-bender
or a larger accident, the
first
car
crash
is
something
no
one,
especially
teenagers,
want to experience
, at least not alone.
