Things see on the road
The journey to work from Cleary Estate to Summerstrand is 45 minutes and 21 kilometres long. And it can be a terribly long and boring one; if it was not for what I see on the road every morning.
Today after I picked up my friend's daughter, I drove off and stood at at a stop street ready to turn right. A white Corsa motorcar approached with his indicator on to turn to his left. However, the driver approached at such a high speed that I delayed my right turn. He never turned to his left. If I had not delayed, he would have collided with me; hitting the passenger side.
It was a smooth drive. The newspaper sellers were at their usual spots and we knew what was on the front pages by the way they hold it up while walking through the cars.
And then we were shocked by the condition of a car that clearly was involved in an accident. There was, however, no other vehicle involved in this accident. The front end of the car was totally damaged. The driver and her daughter was standing next to the car - which then blocked traffic. I saw skid marks and I shuddered thinking about the impact with which it collided. The emergency vehicle in front of me - on its way in another direction, immediately put on its emergency lights after seeing the wreck.
Driving into Humewood all went smoothly; no accidents; just a girl in a skimpy shorts on a cloudy day with the promise of rain on her way to catch the bus to university.
Maybe tomorrow morning will deliver more interesting scenes....
