Accident REPORT (2)

The next Monday after the accident, I have to drive again. As usual, I have to drive Kyle to the driveway before 6:50am. Eivind's Land Cruiser is even bigger than my previous Santa fe. I got in to the car, checking everything that's new to me and I asked Kyle whether he is afraight. He said no, and asked me to take it easy. He was not afraid? I guess he might pretend relax and sit back.

On Tuesday, Eivind got his new car, a brand new Porch. I wonder how rich they are and always click on the mouse and then parcels and boxes come to our house. It's the extension of his first Porch. This is much bigger and higer than the 2 seats racing car. He was so excited and so as Chris. I bet that would be Chris's car later because he is allowed to drive in March. He might feel happy because I damaged his Santa Fe... hehehe...just kidding.

On the following days, I drove the Land Cruiser to show Poh Chin around Boston. But I was afraight to drive to Boston Downtown after the crash. So we took the train and subway.

Nowadays, I learnt from the lesson and drive really slow. I drive around 30 - 45mph on the country road when there's snow or wet on the road. The Land Cruiser is bigger but I feel that it's not better than my Santa Fe. The steerling would shake when I am driving on the uneven road. The brake is too old and do not works well. It doesn't show a well performance on the highway when I drive fast though it's heavy. And it consumes lots of gas....

Anyway, one of my friend from Germany said she met an accident when she is 17. And she is happy she is still alive. So we both agree that an accident without injuries in the younger age perhaps is not a bad thing. We learnt from it and more appreciate our life and tend to drive safety.

I am glad that God keep me here. And Kyle is so sweet after the accident. He changed alot, never yell at me again, wake up bed without making noise and always smile. I think he is more appreciate life too!

I hope he will not drive fast when he is able to drive in 3 years later.

speed limit in my area vary from a part to another part of the road according to the road conditions. The lowest speed limit is 20mph for school zone and 50mph for bigger/wider road. If you are speeding 10 or 15mph, normally the police 'suk suk' wouldn't arrest you. Because they understand how slow is it if we follow the speed limit all the time. They will only stop you if you over 15mph. But it's all depends. Sometimes, some driver drive really slow and you can see a long long queue follow at the back. Look so funny!

There's a morning the boy missed the bus again. I drove him to school in a really low speed because the road is wet. All the car can't wait and passed me in th no passed zone. So so funny but I dont care. If police come, they would be fine and not me. heheheee....that's the privileges of driving a kid
