Road accidents are reported in newspaper and

on television every day. There are more

frequently caused by reckless drivers rather than
faulty vehicles ( problematic transport). Last
Saturday, while was travelin! from poh,
witnessed a serious accident. The scene of the
accidents was vivid in my mind.( fresh in my
mind). vividly remember ......
" motorcyclist was followin! behind a
ta#i very closely. $e was tail!atin! the ta#i.$e was so
impatient that he was tryin! to overtake my ta#i
even near a sharp bend. "t that critical moment,
there was an oncomin! car. The ta#i driver
swerved to the roadside and !ot a terrible %olt.
t was too late for the motorcyclist to avoid the
car. $is motorcycle ran a!ainst the bumper of
the car and smashed its windscreen. The
motorcyclist somersaulted over the car and was
found lyin! in a pool of blood. t was a scene to
chill the flesh& it sent a chill down my spine. The car driver,
who was cut by the flyin! !lass, was in a state of
shock. "ll that happened in split second and fear overwhelmed (overpower) us.
The ta#i driver stopped his ta#i and
quickly ran to the nearest telephone booth to
inform the police and the hospital. 'rom a
distance could see some people tryin! to help
the in%ured motorcyclist and the car driver. They
carried them into one of the onlooker(s car and
sent them to the hospital for treatment.
)eanwhile the ta#i driver tried to control and
direct the traffic. Soon the police arrived and
they . "fter that they moved the dama!ed car
and the motorcycle to the roadside to ease the
traffic con!estion. They also took down the
evidence provided by witnesses and onlookers.
Some cleaners were clearin! the debris and the
blood stains on the road.
*hen the ta#i finally continued the
%ourney, silently thanked +od for my narrow
escape. learned a !ood lesson that impatience
and recklessness would brin! harm and dan!er.
was happy to see that )alaysians are public,
spirited and they render help to others readily.
Since then remember and follow the sayin!
-more haste less speed( and -prevention is better
than cure(. believe !ood road manners and
roads safety campai!ns can help to reduce the
number of road accidents which cause in%uries,
loss and lives and properties.
