Feb 20, 2009 was the day where CCCT almost lost two GP Registrars from the South Coast! On this fateful rainy day, both “L” and I decided we wanted to drive back to Sydney, and both of us decided we needed to use the car in Sydney so we each drove our cars separately.
Several minutes before reaching Narooma, my car suddenly lost control! The road didn’t look any different from the rest of the country road, but the car suddenly drifted towards the opposite lane, so I had to quickly steer the wheel in the opposite direction to avoid it crossing the lane completely, and again in the opposite direction so the car doesn’t fall off the road, so the car went in a zigzag path approx 8 times before I gained control over it again! I was going at 100km/hr, but that was within the speed limit on the highway!
I drove on for another 40 minutes…. Scared! When I arrived in Moruya, I heard my mobile ringing in the car trunk, so I pulled over to answer it, and it was from “L”! He told me his car had crashed into a tree close to Narooma even though he was driving at 60km/hr!! Earlier in the week, “L” had boasted on how his $9000 Toyota was so cool because the metal on the “T” had fell off after he hit a tree a week ago and it became a cool black “T”! This time, his car had crashed so bad that it was no longer drivable and had to be towed away! So I had to turn back to rescue him! Anyway, luckily “L” did not have any injuries, although he kept complaining that his breast itches where the seat belt had been! He first joked that he’d kill me on Monday if I didn’t turn back to rescue him, then he said he was very thankful because if I didn’t rescue him, he would’ve became kangaroo food! Geez, what a crazy guy! He was saying how the he was lucky that there was a rail on the left hand side of the road because he would’ve fell off the cliff if there wasn’t that rail! I wondered if my car had drifted in the same place as his did! Back then I was concentrating so hard on the steering wheel that I didn’t really take notice of the surroundings!
Anyway, I drove on to Bateman’s Bay and it was time to swap drivers! “L” did not seem scared at all! He just took over and kept saying how he loved driving my car so much because it felt so good and we should swap cars! He then boasted on how his Toyota had drifted in the rain a week ago in Sydney when he was making a turn, and all the cars around him just stopped, and that was so cool! Geez, this guy was totally in denial about what had just happened to him three hours ago!! I told him to chuck his dodgy car and get a new one!
The drive seemed to take forever and we finally arrived in Sydney around midnight! We both decided to drive my car from now when we drive back to Sydney! And I think “L” needs to get a psych consult for himself (or maybe I should write one for him)! Haha!
Within a month, "L" got himself a brand new Mercedes
