Good day Bloggets.
Well, last night wasn’t exactly the evening I had planned; our daughter was to
meet with a friend of my Sons in our town. So it was raining and my Hub didn’t
want her meeting with the lad on her own, so asked my boy to go with her. He
drove her there parked up and the three of them had coffee. All going well then
it came to driving home. Teen kindly offered rather stupidly to take is and our
girls new friend home. I say stupidly, because he lives absolutely miles away.
It was bucketing down with rain. Cold too. On their way teen went far too fast
around a corner and his car span around the other way. Thank God no other cars
were coming. As he turned it the right way, his back wheels went in a ditch. No
one was hurt. But they couldn’t get the car out.
Teen thankfully had
some sense left in him and went to a local farmer. The farmer kindly pulled him
out with a truck and rope. Teen offered money to the farmer but the man was
kind enough to say no thanks. Teen said he was a really kind guy.
Would the little car live? It did and thank our maker so did
our kids, I only hope that this will be a lesson? I’m not too sure though. It
was a small accident and his first, but I pray it will be his last. Talking to
friends today, all of their kids have done the same, but this could have been
avoided. What is it with young ones and speeding? Why? The thrill I guess!
So our girl left for the train station in a taxi. Teen wasn’t
very amused. He said he felt used. As he has been kindly taking us places over
the past week. But really, it’s so sad that we have to stay out of the car
until he grows up enough to be sensible. I wouldn’t care, but only last week when
we were at my in laws, my brother in law raced teen with his car. Teen was so
good and didn’t play the game. I was proud of him. And he drove there so well,
mind you, coming back he was a little crazy; he was travelling on the motorway
at speed. He tells me when he goes to see his father, he speeds. I pray it will
be a long time before he goes there again. I only wish he would go there by
train. It’s cheaper for sure rather than putting petrol in.
Next week he is driving for miles to the festival. My heart
will be in my mouth especially because he is taking his two friends. Boys. He
is coming back half way through it as well, me knowing he will have been
drinking most of the previous twenty four hours too? He said he will time it so
that he isn’t drunk….. Time it? Oh goodness.
So, round two? My husband came in from work in a bit of a
state. I’m sure it’s part of what could have been last night. Coming from work
his taxi had to slam the brakes on. In front of their car, was another and the
bang was enormous. A motorbike crashed into the side of the passenger and every
window in the car was smashed. The taxi driver got out the passenger in the
crashed car wasn’t in a good way at all. The driving wheel was in half and the
motorbike was in a nearby field.
Helicopter ambulance
police cars too, all came to the scene. Hubs taxi driver had to give evidence.
The bike was coming over the hill I would guess at speed. I hope so much that
all will be OK? I do feel that our angels are with us this week and for that I
will say a forever prayer especially as a lovely lady I know lost her Son as he
was driving on a motorbike to work. He was killed. Ever since I heard about it,
I have felt so very sad so desperately upset for anyone who loses a loved one
in such a way.
In most cases it can be avoided. Please please, don’t think
it could never be you and don’t believe it’s always your fault either. It could
be another driver not driving well.
