Car Accident
Posted by hatim
About two weeks ago I had an accident. I was driving my suzuki VXR late at night to get some chicken nuggets from a near by MacDonalds drive through. it suddenly started raining. My glass became foggy in an instant. I was driving relatively fast (ie highway speed 75km/h) when suddenly I came to a point where high way was dividing into two. I hit breaks the usual way, ie after pressing the clutch( normally in emergency one should not press, but that would have been fatal in rain as the car may have over tunred after stoping so fat in the rain). I hit the raod divider , big time.
The whole engine compartment got compressed a bit. Engine was damaged and car won't move. I got out and found that I had injured my nose. Thanks to japanese technology there is no air bag in any Suzuki car in Pakistan. It was raining but some people were kind enough to lend me a hand and help me out. Eventually I had to call up my cousin and ask for his help. We had to call up a tow truck and got the car placed in a safe place. Then I went to hospital. It was really scary scene there as there were two fatal accidents on the highway that night. The whole emergency ward was in action. Rainy season is not very safe to drive in Pakistan, especially on highway where you have an ammalgum of micor fuel leaks on the road by heavy transport.
My poor car is being rebuilt. It cost me about 500$ to get this thing repaired. So goes my Summer of Code signing bonus. Allah has his own ways. Any who I am safe, at the end of the day this is what all matters.
Edit: I am selling off this piece of junk Suzuki and hopefully will be driving a better/safer car from now on wards.
