My crash course

Muahahahah! This is the funniest thing that I ever experienced, for this mth so far. I met up my friend for some catching up yesterday and while we were about to leave the place, he made a reverse slowly, slowly..then I realize it was not right, he was driving way too near the drain. So I tried to warn him but it was way too late. We heard a loud sound, and then a slight slant was felt at the left bottom of the car. He wound down the window and tried to accelerate, thinking he will be able to get the left wheel out from whatever was sinking it…but no valid. “Siao liow! Siao liow!” he grumbled and panicked, and alighted to have a look at what was wrong. Apparently the rear left wheel has sunk into some mud and very close to the drain or probably was in the drain already.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry or worry. No emotion. Cos I knew the next thing I have to do is to take over the driver’s seat, for sure.

He instructed me to move over to the driver’s seat (as I have predicted), taught me to step on the accelerator hard and hold on to the steering wheel, while he LIFT the back of the car (yah, he lifted it, like Hercules I think?) to get the wheel out from the side of the drain. Strange, I dun feel scare after all. I held the steering wheel in my hands, stepped on the accelerator hard as I was told, then I felt the wheel spinning but not moving forward only after a split seconds later, we succeed. Thank god I know how to stop the car too else I will stepping on the accelerator and probably be driving home, leaving him behind, running after me.

He sighed with a relief and hopped back into his seat, taking over the car and we laughed. Probably I could have been the one lifting up the car and he should be driving, but in this way, don’t know when we will ever get the wheel out from the drain. I should eat more spinach the next time. LOL!

This is the 1st time I ever drove without license to save someone, including myself. And that is a crash driving lesson for me..what a way to learn man. Sigh..
