When I got my new car after awhile wanted to see how fast it would go, went to the desert on this road that goes in a straight line as far as you can see and found out just how fast it really can go.
That was freaky scary too, everything just flying by in a blur. I was in a blur tunnel and then one the way back a herd of wild horses was on the road...glad they weren't there when I was being stupid. Might of had a horse in the car with me.
@Silentpleasure I was listening to the album Daisy by Brand New when I was driving once and it almost killed me. I wasn't ready for how loud the first song gets suddenly and I was in the middle of a turn when it happened. 😀
Fell asleep, drove into the ditch, hit a smooth but steep hill, which bounced the vehicle into the air, and because the road curved in that direction, landed hard right back onto the road....
I’m older. Driving drunk when I was a teen just wasn’t a big deal. We drove absolutely shitfaced.
It’s different now. I’m the DD as I don’t drink nor would I get behind the wheel if I did. I don’t even text while driving. I can just tip my wrist and voice text without issue.
@Tracos She went to pass a semi truck while running late for work, was greeted with another semi going the other direction. Thank you for your kind words
Foggy night with ice, Medical Helicopter grounded and drove a critical patient to the city. Thankfully the ambulance was all wheel drive and no traffic but definitely on the edge.
@Silentpleasure Funny part was, the receiving hospital notified the city police to escort me to the emergency room. They figured it would take some time before we got there. While my partner was doing paperwork their dispatcher called to see where we were. The ER told them we were there already and they asked “How can they? It’s a mess out here.”.
Other. I’ve had moments when I just didn’t care anymore; and when someone nearly hit my car, expecting me to slam my brakes for their sudden maneuvers, I didn’t bother. “Fine. Let’s crash.” And they moved. I don’t do that lately. Was just a low point in my life.
@Silentpleasure I was stuck in the van in a traffic jam after an accident. The police was telling everyone to stay in their vehicles…hours passed and I got desperate…
Boony riding out in the woods and pushing it at 50 mph in a Comet with a 302 V8 and as my step father said that it was over powered. I took a turn a bit fast with 6 people in the car and slid in the leaves a good 100 feet. An early lesson on how easy it is to lose control of a vehicle.
Actually none of those things. All I do is have uncontrollable road rage, I go round roundabout the wrong way or drive over them or nearly knock down cyclists.
