In a Split Second, In a Blink of an Eye, In One Swipe of the Wipers

One moment I saw the car speeding in the heavy rain, splashing the water high on the road. The next moment, the same car stopped with the front part on the higher level sidewalk. I was behind the car, about 50 meters away, and did not really saw what happened. In a split second, in the blink of an eye, in one swipe of the wipers, someone get a jolt of his/her life. I didn't think it was anything serious. There's no damage to the car except the driver looses control and the car landed on the sidewalk. One very lucky fella. You can't win with Mother Nature. And I have this to say to the driver, "Serves you right! Padan muka!”



Earlier the car tried to overtake mine which was going 60kmph in the heavy rain, from the left. That was in Taman Bukit Indah, heading towards Selayang. The only reason I was on the right lane is because there's a slower car on the left lane, wanting to turn left at the junction. I saw this particular car coming behind me very fast and then going left trying to overtake. "Hey, you cannot go anywhere man. That car is even slower. Let me pass lah. Then I'll go left and you can have your way. Sheesshh... In the heavy rain oso want to speed." This is a reminder to everyone. Be careful when it rains and keep your distance from the car in front of you.
