Today, this morning approximately 7:20 A.M.
A student driver was on his way to school in a hurry. Everything was fine until something happend. Ahead was a Toyota Corolla in front of him and a bridge tht leads to his school. Before entering the bridge the student slowed down to have the Corolla go further away from him. When the time was right but was really wrong the student than sped up the bridge. As he did so, focused as he is, he noticed the corolla slammin hard on his brakes making the car come to an almost complete stop.

The surprised student used his brakes to slow down at all possible costs to avoid an accident. Challenging the turn at 60 mph, 10 mph lesser than he normally do, two types of collision could happen but neither is unavoidable due to the way both drivers were driving at that time. One of the possibility of collision is the student hitting the rear of the corolla because it was doing around 10 mph. Now, as the two cars almost uniting the corolla than sped up and flee'd leading the student to suffer from another problem. The students car started to lose control. He described it felt like the car was drifting but says that the experience is unlike normal driving.

As the car losted control the driver did not think for a split second to use the e-brake which might've saved his car. But the time happened so fast that it is impossible to think. From the students vivid memory he states to us how it happend. "First the car was going really strong turning left on a right-turn bridge. So i with two hands immediately turned the steering wheel to the right and bam it was going hard on the right than i went left and near the exit i hit the ramp with his front bumper. The damage was pretty devastating. Both the low and high beams on the driver's side are completely busted. The front bumper is wounded.

Shocked, the student quickly drove off to find a place to stop to check on his cars damage. As he parked his car on the right side curb and his heart began to beat unevenly. "I am in deep crap" saying to himself. Many blinding questions fill his mind that cause him to lose focus of school and all he wants to do is think about it right now at this moment. Time does fly in situations like this. He did managed to arrive right on time.

All in all, although that could've been avoided if he went the other route. But no one can see the future...

Jinxed? I've had a bad feeling about this when i first drove in it and that something might happen.

Foretold? Unexplainable..

Maybe it wasn't jinx itself(if it exists). It was my stupidity.

My parents are gonna really screw me up. Since i'm asian i'll be getting a longggg lecture and everything. You know what it is.

I'm soo stunned now that I think the way i'm writing/saying/feeling is different today.

I don't even know what to say right now to you guys. I'm very sorry.

you have to be carefull no matter what the conditions are even if its REALLY nice.. I was coming home from chicago about 3 years ago in my prelude.. it was night time but really nice out. I was gettin off of 55 on to I80. the speed limit was posted at 55 so naturally I was doin 75+. newayz the on ramp was a "S" shaped one and as I was takin the left turn of it I hit a pot hole about a foot round and it blew out my front passenger tire. which made my prelude spin to the right.. pointin my front end directly into the gaurd rail.. I had no time to slow down. thankfully for me the prelude is very low to the ground in the front and I managed to hit the gaurd rail in a manner that lifted up the rearend and turned the passenger side into the gaurd rail and the side of the car absorbed most of the impact....probably saved my life cuz that gaurd rail was ****ed! I ended up drivin the car up onto the interstate (damn honda motors will take enthing). while I was sitting on the side of the road 3 state officers drove by me and didnt even stop! damn cops... newayz after I relized that I was too far from home for my cell phone to work and noticed that it was 30 miles to the nearest town I seached for a hole in the ditch that was big enuf for me to get the blown tire over with a little room to spare underneth.. the vehicle was resting on the ground. newayz I manged to get the spare onto the car with only a little bit of trouble and then had to drive 180 miles home on a spare with VERY badly brused ribs and a a cracked knee cap ( which I found out about later)... that was the longest 180 miles in my life.. I had to pull over 4 or 5 time to get sick cuz of how much pain I was in.

All that just because I thought that I didnt have to worry about the roads cuz it was nice out.

BTW I drove buy the same guard rail about 6 months later and some one had laid flowers down where the accident happened... must of thought that some one had died there... will say that it kinda looked like someone did
