An accident - almost!

Friday, August 28, 2009

I had a trip to Davao City. And, my flight was 6:30 AM this morning. I woke up at 3:00 AM, prepared, and left at about 3:40 AM. I live in Novaliches, Quezon City and I could be at the airport in less than an hour. My travel was smooth and devoid of traffic until I reached EDSA. Along EDSA, there were lots of trucks but the traffic was still moving fast. I was traveling between 50 to 60 kph.

At the Cubao area, I was traveling at the innermost lane. Directly on my right, there’s a long truck; and, we’re about the same speed. It’s following another truck. Suddenly, it’s swerving to my lane. Holy cow! Instinctively, I swerved to the left too to avoid coming in contact with the truck. But, if I continued swerving, I’d hit the island. Another instinct, I revved and swerved back to the right.

Fortunately, the accident didn’t happen. I looked back through the rear view mirror and saw the truck already on the innermost lane overtaking the truck it’s following. Whew! That’s close.
