almost had an accident

[chauan]

after few days of driving, I decided to ride to work today......but almost had an accident on the way......here's how it happened.....

I was approaching a green light just changed from red and there were few cars waiting there........

I "assumed" cars in front of me would start moving before I got there, so I was't slow down AND I was thinking something else.........

So, as you can imagine, I almost hit a car's rear. I braked (luckily, I didn't lock the front) and turned into space between two cars.........

I was shocked........and felt lucky there's nothing happened........
so, I learned a lesson which is my common mistakes.........don't ride and have my mind on something else at the same time.........

Good learning the easy way, not the hard way. Props to you.
If you're riding and you can THINK of something a cager MIGHT do, no matter how moronic, 9 times outta 10 they'll do it. And if you look at them and think "there's no way he/she will try that", I guarantee you that they'll try it.

Glad you are alright, and didn't get hurt in the process of learning this lesson!

another one.....

yes, another one just happened on the way home....

I was crossing an intersection and a white Celica on my right hand side was turning into my lane, too!!

so....I flashed her.....(yes, but don't ask why not use horn ) then swerved again........and I kicked the hood (ok, that one just joking)

so, safely got home, end an exciting day
