This morning, I was on my way back to The Medical City Clinic to wait for my doctor after a few minutes buying apples and slippers at the wet market when I saw this guy riding in his motorcycle suddenly fall from his bike in the middle of the road. Some pedestrians and I were crossing the road when we saw the accident. He was driving fast and suddenly stopped because it is a green light for pedestrians. His foot was trapped on the wheels of his motorcycle. I really shouted “ayye” when I saw it. Good thing there were other drivers following him and they helped him to the side of the road.
Sometimes no matter how careful you are, accidents happen. Yesterday, a friend of mine’s car was rear-ended by a speeding bus and he in turn was carried by his car to the car before him. He has broken glass, windows were destroyed and he said it would probably take two months to repair his car by the insurance company. His older sister was riding at the front too so they were spared on the impact of the accident at the rear of his car. Thank God.
I am always telling my kids to drive safely but those on the road along with them maybe a bit careless in driving.
