Thoughts on Driving

I am new on driving alone, I'm used to my Dad instructing me when I drive. So pardon the driver if you see a Tammaraw FX that moves so slow or has tendency to commit driving mistakes, that driver is me. Sorry bago lang po. Anyways I realized that driving and having a vehicle is not only a privilege it is also a BIG responsibility. There are two personal driving experience I will never forget. One is when I hit a newly cleaned car while attempting to have the FX cleaned. Good thing the owner of the car (apparently a police man (gulp)) was not there. Good thing also that miraculously I hit the only the wheels and it is not noticeable (Lucky me) . The car was I think a new model. How did the policeman got the money to buy that car? Beats me. One things for certain I'm lucky, so darn lucky. The other incident was when I wanted to turn left to a bank. As I position the FX to the parking area, a loud bang was heard in the back portion. A man in his bike hit me. I was certain that I didn't hit him, because I was on a full stop and was gearing the steering wheel to the proper parking position. After some time the biker stood up and then went away. No discussions, no cursing he just went up and leave. Talk about luck huh. Well Ive learned my lesson and still continuing to do so. I try to be doubly extra careful when I drive. I also pray doubly harder so that i will not run out of luck. ha ha. With all the recent news on road accidents, and fatalities, it made me realize that driving is not just to impress ladies or ease travel time. It is a lifelong learning experience and it can create a big impact not only on my life but on the lives of drivers and commuters plying the streets. So see you in the streets as I take a ride in Effie the Tammaraw FX (It's so lucky). ha ha
