Okay. I met with a car accident on my way back to M'cca fr Subang.
Date: 13 July 2007 (Friday)
Venue: Somewhere after the toll (probably bout a 10 minutes drive?)
I'm on a highway driving at bout 100 km/h and there's this single lane road linking to the highway that i was on. So happen one VIP passing thru and the escort/police stopped the car in front of me, a Waja and after seeing wat happened, i apply my emergency brake but i couldn't stop in time, so i banged the back of that car n the Waja that i drove was badly damaged. The repair costs RM 1476. Unfortunately, my dad still has to pay the other Waja owner RM300 coz we were in the wrong since we're fr the back. It's always the car at the back is wrong if u're driving in M'sia no matter wat happens!
I seriously think that it's not my fault (It wasn't my 1st time driving on a highway). It should be the VIP's fault for being so IMPORTANT dat they neglect other road users n stop us suddenly. We should practice the Japanese where the VIPs follow the rules n regulations as normal road users do.
After the accident, i was panic-stricken n squat down by the road side while my father negotiated the price. I juz couldn't stand straight. It's as if the feeling of going to b injected is befalling me. Some of u noe how i'm afraid of being injected or any sharp objects penetrating my skin, dat's another reason y i've no ear holes.
Anyway, it was a gd bt costly experience 4 me. There r certain acts dat i should've done 2 avoid it, i.e.
- overtake the car (I was on the left to the fastest lane. Will I get into a more dangerous situation if i've done dat? I dunno. I was engrossed to stop in time dat i neglected looking out for other alternatives. My dad was asleep n so is every1 else => no advice!)
- brake fully the moment i start braking (I didn't do so coz i thought the car will overturn, hence i only brake fully after 1 or 2 seconds i started braking. Too much movie i suppose? Lol.) I seriously have no cognizance that the car will not overturn if i'd brake fully until my dad told me, which he then continue driving back to M'cca.
I don't have the courage to drive again since then.
Juz kidding! I drove the following Monday. ;P
Peace and many blessings!
Regards,
Hwee Wen

glad ur okie hwee wen !!:-), hehehe,see i told u tht u were talented in phy....even in the face of danger, u could think straight n apply ur momentum laws all ...tc !!!
wah! 100 km/hr
The most I will go is 80. >:)
I guess it's quite hard to brake suddenly when you are at a high speed. The car might flip as you say.
IMO, it's the other Waja's fault. He never see you coming meh?
thank God no one got hurt tho..
:)
[Supriya] Hmm...phy has nvr come across my mind at that moment =)...but according to my dad, i should've brake fully n dat the car will not flip, probably skid only...*shrug*
[Janice] Hi Hi Hi, haven't been talking to u 4 awhile!!! Normally, i'll drive around dat speed on highway, fastest would b 120 km/h. I'm still a P-licensed driver ma... I rarely drive 80 km/h on normal road, probably slower than dat --> 6o km/h. Can't blame the other Waja coz he's being stopped by the police. After all, we've to stop for the VIP.
I banged his car in the middle of the road n when we drove to the side to negotiate, the police who stopped us ran away already. So _______!(dunno wat to say!!)
Haha..at least the police not there anymore..or else lagi freak out :)
Hey..do u still have my ielts workbook? i cant remember whether u gave me back adi anot.
Actually my dad was hoping that the police is there so we nd not pay the other fella RM300 since it's the police's fault. Yea, ur book is with me, i'll return it when we meet 2 collect our results, k?
oh ya ah, results gonna be out soon ..... AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah..when we meet. Coz my mum's cousin is taking the test and she wants to borrow, lol.
glad 2 noe no1 got hurt :)
as 4 .....whos fault...i tink evry1 was at fault :P
d VIP 4 being inconsiderate (well...dats d priviledge of being a VIP..)
d car in front of u (d waja rite?) 4 braking so suddenly....but i suppose he cudn help it...
u 4 driving so fast :P i noe it's within d spd limit...perhaps u shud hav increased d distance btwn u n d car in front of u den? rmbr d 3 second rule? d 1 wher u shud gauge more or less 2 b 3 seconds behind d car in front of u so u can break in time?
oh...btw i doubt d car wud flip at a measly 100kmph...esp if its fully loaded...it wud prob as ur dad say skid...but dats dangerous as well...does ur car have ABS? if it doesn u wud prob hav 2 pump d brakes...gradual brakes...

I was about 2 cars away from the Waja. Re da 3 seconds rule, i dun exactly noe how to use it, sth like u gotta calculate the moment the front car passes an object, e.g. light pole, is it?
Wat's ABS and gradual brakes?
