Everyone had been through a lot of moments. There is happy moment, sad moment, surprised moment and even thrilling moment. This same goes to me. I am a teenager aged 18 now, I had been through ups and downs, a lot of memorable moments, happy moments and even sad moments. There is one moment which just happerned recently that I will never, ever forget.
Since young, driving was my biggest dream ever. I love to look at my parents driving. No matter where are they driving to, I insisted to follow. I felt that driving is a skill that is cool and in order to be good in it, one must really know the car well, the route well and have good skills. This is also why I’m taking up mechanical engineering now. I hope to major in automotive in the future and hopefully managed to be a part as the Lotus F1 team, represent the country, make the country proud!
When I am 17, the first thing I did after my birthday is sign up for the driving license tutorial class and wanted to get my driving as soon as possible. The first driving tutorial class isn’t an easy thing for me. I bet others felt that as well. I were taught over and over again by my tutor how to drive, control and handle a car. As a driving enthusiast, I didn’t gave up easily. In the end I managed to get my driving license just after 1 driving exam. That makes me felt proud of myself.
Ever since I get my driving license, my parents borrowed me their car and allowed me to drive around in the town on my own as I promised them that I will drive safely and does not speed! That was the time of my life. It’s kind of like part of my dream came true. I started going everywhere; find my friends out for a drink or hangout. I don’t mind fetching them anywhere as I can improve my driving skills as the time goes by.
I can still remember vividly. Last 5 months, I drove 3 of my friends on my dad’s car planned to go and watch a movie at the cinema in the town. We booked the tickets before hand and we were kind of late at that time. As we were in hurry, I decided to step on the accelerator harder. Thinking that we won’t miss the movie. That was the first time I’m driving the car at such a high speed. I’m quite confidence at that time, I thought that I can control the car. Who knows, at a blink of eye, a cat dashed out across the road while I ‘m driving very heading towards it.
I don’t want to kill the cat! The first thing appeared in my mind is “STOP!!!” I slammed the brake as hard as I could, try to stop the car, but the car skidded. Thank god that everyone of us and the cat were save without any injury. That moment, I’m totally blanked, don’t know what to do. I felt sad because I did a stupid decision to speed where I had promised my parents that I’m not going to do so.
Ever since that incident, I will never ever forget the moment. I knew why my parents want me to drive slowly on the road, I knew why they don’t want me to speed on the road… It’s all because they loved me. They don’t want to lose me. That moment thought me to drive safely on the road. No matter how good is your skills, accidents can happern at anytime and anywhere.. That moment was carved on my heart forever, it reminds me to drive save on road because there is always someone waiting for us to come back.
