Rainy day and Kemalangan Maut

It was raining heavily last nite. Blackout occurred a few times. Even nak tonton tv pun tak selesa coz asyik “services currently not available”. Hopefully today is a sunny day.

On my way to office this morning, I was listening to Traxx FM. The DJ said that maybe the JPJ should give test in a different way to the driver before they issue driving license. Currently, kita diuji during a fine sunny day, and Mr DJ said that in other countries like UK and Australia, the drivers there given driving test during rain, at nite and even at the condition of slippery and wet road. This is done to test how the driver controls the situation in the safe way. Saya rasa ini satu idea yang baik untuk dicuba. Bagi mengurangkan jumlah kemalangan maut yang menakutkan di Negara kita.

Kita pun tau juak kan Ops Sikap 10 telah mencatakan jumlah kematian tertinggi dalam satu hari iaitu 29 orang. This is terrible! Menakutkan lah..saya kalau driving balik ke Kuching sentiasa rasa takut-takut. Takut kan lori trailer, bas , pacuan empat roda dan kereta kancil yang memecut laju.

Ni saya ada satu pengalaman mungkin lucu dan menakutkan diri saya when I was driving my dad’s car for the first time few years back. Kereta jenis Toyota yang lama tu.. I was on my way back home after sending my sister to school that sunny morning. And I was accompanied by my younger sister who is about 11 years old. When I reached the entrance of our home, I was driving agak laju sedikit dan membelok masuk ke dalam kawasan rumah.. Bannnggg!! The car hit the gate and it was collapsed. The impact was so strong but unbelievable the car only scratches kat bahagian depan. Sort of macam ada lubang lah tak jauh dari lampu. My mom rush out and she was shocked to see what happened. I was panic and my sister was screaming.

Until now, our gate was some kind of rosak lah..tak balance manakala tiang batu yang tumbang tu dah takde lagi sekarang. For more than a week, I was afraid to drive.
