what do you get when rain and speed collide? an accident.

while on my way to work this morning, i unfortunately got hit by an easyride (it’s what we call the mini 4WD used as a common transpo to towns). no, i did not die. hehe jk.. and no, fortunately, i was not hurt much. i am, however, expecting a bruise on my left leg as a result of the impact.

what happened was, while dhirrac was driving me to work on our motorcycle, the couple in front of us (who were also on a motorcycle) suddenly stopped without even moving to the side. as a result, dhirrac also had to hit the breaks otherwise we would have collided with them. just as we stopped i suddenly felt something hit me from the side… well, make that left leg (i was sitting sideways because im wearing a skirt).

at first i didnt feel any pain, it was only until we went on our way when i felt twinges of pain on my leg and knee. dhirrac was furious when i told him. apparently he didnt notice that i got hit because he was still pissed at the couple ahead of us. as it turned out, they stopped quite abruptly because that was probably the only thing they could do to prevent themselves from going straight into a hole in the road. dhirrac wanted to confront the driver of the easyride because despite the fact that the road was pretty big, and there was much room for the easyride to pass through, i still got hit. which means that he must have been going really fast that he did not notice the break lights on our motorcycle.

i stopped dhirrac from talking to the driver because no major harm was done. really. though i might get a bruise after this, but apart from that, there’s nothing wrong. things could have been worse… i guess things just happen when rain and speed collide. even though we were really careful driving at a safe pace, keeping away from puddles and mud, we still got into an accident because others were not mindful of the weather and conditions of the road. it had stopped raining by then. it was not even drizzling. but the road was still wet and others could have been more careful. but then again, not everybody plays safe these days eh..?

im just glad i i wasnt hurt… at most il be getting is a bruise. at least we didnt collide heavily to the extent that i would be thrown off the motorcycle or something like that.. i could think of a lot of things that could have happened, but thank God for miracles and we got out of it unscathed.
