I have a phobia of a passenger beside me first time I ever drive
any car.
Cos passenger can see how nervous I am, or can point out
mistakes easily or simply, what happened with my friend.
She had licence, but didnt dare to drive for a long time.
So I rode all the way to Jurong, park my bike and get into her
sister's car with her.
After a while, I move to the backseat cos that sister came
along.
Then suay suay at Choa Chu Kang Farmway, she was taking a turn
too fast and I was just telling her to lift her foot off the
accelerator and maybe down a gear. before the last part of my
sentence came out.
The sister panicked and went and grabbed her left hand at the
steering wheel.
Of course we careened all the left side of the road, nearly hit
a lampost, then served to the right side of the road and into a
kampung road ditch.
I was sitting at the centre of the backseat, no seatbelt and saw
the lampost coming straight for me.
Thankfully the ditch was not too bad. We got out of the
car, take a breather, check the undercarriage and I found some
concrete edges of the ditch and directed my friend to turn the
steering wheel and reverse away.
Thankfully, some of the wheels still have traction on the road
while one of the front tyre found traction at the slope of that
concrete dtich. We finally moved off without incident.
Stopped at that Ivy place to walk walk around and I took over the
wheel for the parking.
Whew.....
