a bad decision made by an inconsiderate driver.
a split-second wrong reaction behind the wheels.
unjustified recklessness.
all enough to cause a serious accident.
derrick was in a car accident today. when i read his message, i was really scared; although logic told me that if he was able to actually message me about it, he's reasonably safe and sound. but that didn't stop me from sobbing my pathetic little heart out when i was talking to him over the phone, scaring him even more in the process.
it's so unfair that other idiotic fuckers who shouldn't have even passed their driving test have the power to hurt someone so close to your heart. yes, you're less educated, yes, you spend so much time on the road that you think you fucking own it, and yes, life's so hard on you that you just can't give a flying fuck about other people's safety on the road, because, hey, you drive a fucking truck. what's another small blue car on the road?
and that's what infuriates me even more. you know that you're driving a heavy vehicle. you jolly well know that the other car has the right of way. you are aware that your vehicle is no light, swift and speedy wunder car. then why did you even try to make that turn? the very thought of derrick's little blue car colliding heavily into the side of that fucker's truck just plain breaks my heart.
the best part? the only damage the other vehicle suffered was a broken fuel tank. yes, the truck was actually huge enough to have a fucking fuel tank attached on its side.
i hope the law punishes that fucker to the maximum. i hope he loses his job because he's a total hazard, and shouldn't be allowed to endanger other people's lives. i hope he's feeling so fucking horrible now, but i know he's probably only worrying about himself, his job, his family. selfish? but i believe in karma, and it's gonna hit him back a thousandfold.
to think just one person has so much power to hurt 3 other people. i resent that. i'm so angry now.
and sad.
because, just by being selfish and plain idiotic, the fucker just created a whole lot of problems. for himself, and for others. i know it's evil, but i pray that he realises this and suffers for it.
