Accidents Galore - parts IV and V
What is going on in the GTA? Are drivers asleep from the heat? Are there magnets on the backsides of their pedals pulling them to the metal? Are there way too many babes walking the sidewalks of GTA distracting male drivers? Are there too many hot guys prancing across the intersection distracting the female drivers of GTA?
wassup?!? Or maybe there are just way too many bad drivers on the road. (That's what Young Drivers taught me, and I agree wholeheartedly.)
In my whole life, I have witnessed some 5 traffic accidents (or have seen it after a minute or two of happening). Now in these last seven days, add five.
Today, after getting prices for my plane tix to Sydney and back, I just missed seeing an accident on Dundas and Erin Mills. Well, it happened just a stone's throw away from the cop shop... sounding similar to my story, eh? I think it was a left hand turn gone bad.
Shaking my head, I turn down to Sheridan Mall. After dropping a roll of slide film, I pull out of the mall and some 2-3 seconds later hear a screech of tires and... bang. I look in my rear view at the intersection that I just left - and lo and behold - another left hand turn gone awry. I think I'll just start getting a complex now!
I'll keep this short, but it seems that the gods of the vehicular transportation are unappeased. Sacrifice the cars!! Take the transit!! Save the atmosphere!! Don't die from lung cancer!! Ride your bicycle!! Don't exercise the uni-digit salute!! Save the dolphins!! ...Uh... I didn't say nothin' about a complex....
