Car Accidents

Last Saturday we were heading to the city. The highway was packed with cars as always. Everything went smooth, people were driving about 70mph, and before I knew it, I needed to use my breaks hard. In the rear mirror, I saw a Bentley behind us, the driver must have slammed his breaks.. We were lucky to drive in the carpool lane, so he steered his car into the shoulder lane. When his car stopped, the trunk was parallel to me in the driver's seat. If he wouldn't been able to use the shoulder lane, we would have been hit badly.

I drive daily on the highway. From time to time I see serious car accidents. No wonder these accidents happen when people are texting, solving crosswords, reading newspaper, talking on the phone, getting dressed, putting on make up, or simply Not Paying Attention. Several times I've almost been hit because people don't check their dead angles before switching lanes. That's the cheapest car insurance one can have (to check their dead angles before switching lanes).

People pay attention! Please.
