an almost-accident

just something which crops up.
on the way home from kl yesterday, i saw an almost-accident. it almost happened, but it did not.
a red satria was travelling in front of me driving around 110km/h. well that is the normal speed on the highway in a normal circumstance lah. but as it was raining in torrents previously, you can say that the car was going slightly fast. okok...i was going fast as i was tailing him as well but not close behind. what a relief!
brother was already sitting there with his eyes closed when the actions started. the car started swerving into the left lane and then to the right again and then did a 360 degree turn(anti clockwise) and almost hit into the divider when it stopped. luckily it made a full circle, it could have driven straight into me if it did not keep turning!!! the scenes were unfolding in front of me like in a movie screen. phew!! brother woke up as i think i made some noises and he managed to capture the actions as well.
luckily no damage was done. the red car had been quite stubborn occupying the right lane and refusing the budge for other faster vehicles to overtake. i think that would have knocked some senses into the driver for the rest of the journey. this will be a reminder for myself to drive carefully and to handle the car with care. to others...the same message goes to you too!!!
