A lot of things happened today. I almost got into an accident, not once but three times on the same day. Since my accident early last year, I became a bit edgy, especially with people who stopped suddenly, and people who followed my car closely. Twice it happened today, the second time, I can even hear the tires screeching. After the almost missed incident,I felt like my heart was jumping out of my chest. Before that occur, a crazy man was pissed at me for driving slowly and he was trying to pin my car to the railing by the side of the road. After all those, instead of continuing with my journey to Damansara, i turned and drove back home.
I guess I am still psychologically affected after being sandwiched last year between a Nissan and a Toyota, due to the driver of the Toyota lost control of his car and hit mine. I thought I was perfectly fine, until today, when the sounds of screeching tires almost put me in a panic mode.
Normally, if I encountered anything like this, I would immediately dial a number and just talk until I feel better. But today, I just froze looking at my phone and wondering who should I call for comfort. Owh well, live and let live.

kl drivers are bullies. drive defensively the best u can.
I tried. and I was pushed to the side of the road. It seems like they don't care what happened to their car. And it is frightening thinking of the possibilities.
Take care.
anon: Thank you. I will, am trying my best (",)
Insane people are plentiful on the road. Especially if their cars are more expensive and/or larger than yours. I cannot count how many idiots tailgate me (near on a daily basis) without caring that:
a) I can't change to the left lane, there were too many cars;
b) I need to maintain a safe distance from the car in front.
So I learn to ignore the flashing lights etc ... but it is still best to avoid these people when you can. We can't just watch out for ourselves, we have to watch out for them too.
Just take deep breaths and center yourself whenever you have such encounters. Try to relax and react in a calm manner. That's the best that we can do.
*hugs*
Hugs!!! thanks beb. I am grateful that I am still in one piece.(",)
I know that feeling, of wanting to hear that particular person's voice because it has a calming effect. I used to type the text but don't send it. Or I just hide the phone away from myself. Take care ya Naz, better things will come your way :)
Thanks!!naf...That moment in time, that was going through my mind, to call and just hear the voice. However I can't even do it if I want to. Because during all those incidents, my phone was out of battery. I don't know whether that was just a blessing in disguise, because I am trying not be emotionally attached anymore. Occasionally, the urge is there, to dial and just say hello.
