Not talking

Haven't been posting much, again. Which happens. For example, I did not mention being nearly involved in a driving accident a few weeks ago.

I was driving to class when I noticed a car swinging into the lane just ahead of me. I had to brake abruptly not to run into them. It took a few moments to realise a banging sound I had heard just previously must have been another car hitting that one and knocking it into my path. The car which nearly hit me recovered and I saw them shortly pull over behind another car which had one corner at the back smashed up. I think there must have been at least three vehicles involved.

It left me shaken much of the rest of the drive. The incident impressed on me that many accidents must be little like those which make the news, that the cars were still driveable and intact apart from dents and body damage so far as I could see (I saw damage only on one) and that there was some measure of recovery available.

Not that this encourages me to be careless about the possibility of being in a collision. But at least those people seem to have escaped only expensively. That was on my first time driving that route too; I am glad it has been a one-off incident so far, and not something to expect on a regular commute.
