Hello Friends, |

Most times, the craziest of things happens when we least expect it to occur. I have heard and seen many crazy moments in my life, but I think the craziest were the ones that almost made me to lose my mind.
Looking back at those moments now, I do not regret experiencing them. Infact I usually smile anytime I flash back to how scared I was at those crazy times. Let me tell you about my craziest car experience.
My Craziest Car Experience |
|---|
It was just about 2 years ago when my Dad decided to buy a Toyota Sienna car for himself, and he did that without first knowing how to drive, lol.
When my dad went to buy the car, he was escorted by his friend who knows how to drive, and his friend was the one that drove the car home after it was bought by my dad.

It was after the car was bought that my dad decided to go register and learn how to drive in a driving school. The duration by the driving school for learning how to drive was about 2 month or more.
But my dad didn't even wait to learn enough, and after about 2 weeks he left the driving school and start practicing how to drive by himself with his car.
We all advised him to go and complete his learning period, but his mind was more stronger than our fears. He started driving in the main roads, and as you might have guessed correctly, he was driving recklessly and making major mistakes on the road.
I initially said I would not dare to enter his car, except he wouldn't be the one driving, but a day came and I had no option but to enter, so I had to take the risk.
And to worsen the whole situation, the road was bad and the distance was very far. I had to pray for something extraordinary to happen so that we wouldn't have to take the trip again, but the journey still took place, lol.

I sat in the front seat with my dad, so my heart jumped at almost everything I saw. It was not up to 2 minutes into our trip, and the side-mirrow of our car had already bumped into some pedestrians walking by the side of the road.
I knew I was in for a shocking trip when my Dad tried to overtake a big vehicle, it was like a suicide mission and we were all tensed.
I observed that my dad was trying to prove to us that he was capable of driving anywhere and overtaking any vehicle because he knew we had no confidence in his driving, but the more he tried to prove himself, the more drastic and crazy the journey became.
The craziest part of the journey for me was the point we were about to cross an old wooden bridge. Man o man, I taught we wouldn't make it past that bridge, because my dad was moving very slowly in that Shaky bridge.
That day was not a really funny day for me, because I was just angry at the trip. Infact while going back home, we got stucked in a U-turn junction, and we caused a long holdup for incoming vehicles.
I seriously do not wish to have such experience again, because it was not just crazy for me but it was equally scary.

However, looking back at those experiences, I smile and am glad that it happened. Because those are usually once in a lifetime experience, and I do not regret it happening.
But as the saying goes, learning makes perfect, dad is now an expert in driving, and his courage is what amazes me till this day. Hopefully I learn to take risk like he does on a regular basis.
