I gotta say, this is by far the most weirdest day I've ever experienced, and yet nothing really happened.
Today while driving, I saw an accident at an intersection. A few police cars, and ambulances were at the scene, and its not really something that you would go like "LIEKOMG!!" Normally, I would drive off, following the directions police officers are giving you and just continue my way.
Except this time, it was different. As I drove past the accident, I saw a totalled moped on the ground, and the person who was driving it, was killed. They placed sheets over him as I drove by, but I still saw him. It wasnt exactly a pretty sight... Accident happens every day around the world, and normally, it's not something you would think about. But it gets different when you actually see one, and even more when you see a dead body. It made me doubt about my own responsibillities as a driver and if I could really drive around without any mistakes, seeing as I still take driving lessons. And well, the scary part was that the driver didnt see the moped, and seeing as my viewing habbits are... Well, bad. For all I know, that driver could have been me running over that moped just because I didnt look. So I guess that really opened my eyes of how dangerous driving a car can be, and how much responsibillity you got as a car driver.
It really opened my eyes and just I hope other people would realize it too...
