I’m totally freaked out driving this weekend!
1. On my way home, Saturday night, I was driving behind a van running crazily (medium speed but always going off course). Then, it hit hard a jeepney that was parked on the side of the service road. A few pieces of the jeepney flew by — thank goodness none hit me. But the van continued on. By then I concluded the driver is drunk. Unfortunately he went the direction I was going. By the time I reached the access road leading towards our village, the driver started going just 10kph! I wanted to overtake him but he was cruising the two-way access road in the middle and I kinda hesitated na rin ‘coz he might step on the gas when I am already ahead of him and hit me. Ayun, I just waited until he made his turn already. As for the jeepney, wala naman humabol.
2. On my way to my niece’s birthday lunch in Makati, I encountered an SUV suddenly going slow ahead of me along South Super Highway. Out of habit, I honked. Since the SUV didn’t budge, I just swerved the other lane the moment I had my chance. As I got parallel the said SUV, I saw that those aboard had guns and the windows in front were down! They were looking behind their trail and then they glanced my way. Super scary! I thought they would follow me, so I stepped on the gas and crazily sped towards EDSA! Viewing the SUV from the rearview mirror, I saw that it just maintained its slow speed as if still waiting to target somebody — thank goodness it wasn’t me! Gawd, I was shaking all the way to Makati.
