I had an accident last friday involving a bike. It was traumatic. The first since I bought zippy. The first in the last six years.
For the past few days after which, I have been very nervous whilst driving. I didnt event dare to change lane when i see a bike or car coming on too fast. I am literally on the first or second lane on the highway. Naturally, I tried to curb my fears and its better now. If thats not the case, i should really just change to a van - driving at such snail speed. The bike and its driver are okay. Thank goodness he was not having pillion when the accident occurs. If so , the fatality will be ten folds.
The accident happened as I was turning right to the side route leading back to my house. He was coming from a straight rout. I turn a little when I saw his bike approaching. My car halted. The bike came crashing though there wasnt any vehicles on the next lane or mine. It was reported, from his side that he was riding at 40km/hr. For the past few days , I have been speaking with idac, investigative officers , insurance officers. They have been very informative and helpful. I have even tried stimulating the accident by crusing at 40km/hr on the straight rought to the point of crash. I was puzzled he could have easily stopped the bike , given that circumstances. I wasnt even moving when he hit. Nonetheless, he is in the main route and I am turing into a lane. By the rule of Singapore traffic police, the penalty will weigh greater on mine indefinitely.
There is nothing much I can do but just to wait for the final verdict. I cant wait for this to be all over. Its lingering at the back of my mind since that day.
Naturally, I have been very apprehensive and paranoid over this accident and my moving house. It has been only two weeks since I last shifted and I got involved in this. I couldnt help but went to the temple , check up Lillian Too website on fengshui etc. Hopefullly, this faze on superstition is ephemeral. I have been checking my horoscope everyday consciously!! Its vexing!
On hindsight, I have not commuted on a bus or a train for the last four years. Since zippy is sent to the workshop for one week, I am happily going public. Its less stressful as I can read a book and listen to my ipod as I commute. Its therapeutic actually.
