Hi! it's been a while since i posted here.
I am a "liker" of Top Gear Ph fan page in Facebook (but i have no ideas about cars to be honest haha!) and I've been seeing lately on their posts about the unfortunate incidents that may happen on the road so i decided to share mine.
Few months ago, My older brother bought me a honda scoopy 2013 model (Yes! he's generous!!) for me to have transpo roving around baranggays (not tanod though haha!).

One day, My cousin and i was scouting for a private resort along Sucat area for the preparation of our family summer outing. While transversing the road i didn't noticed that we were about to pass an intersection which happens to be in a red signal light so motorists are at stop and i bumped at the back of one motorcycle. The driver stared at me with his eyes wide open. So what i did was, i never looked at him back pretending nothing was happen. Fortunately, the signal went "green" and we had to moved on. then i noticed his plate was deformed and feel sorry about what happened.

Second incident was, Mama and i were about to go to mall nearby, so i insists that we should use the scooter for us not to walk in the pedestrian bridge since the sun was like burning hell that time. She didn't want us to ride in a scooter because to be honest none of my family has a trust on my driving skills (haha!) since i just had my driver's license few months back and I'm still on the process of learning on how to drive on the road. but then, i convinced her the way i want it so we fueled up the scooter first (gas was almost empty that time) before we head to the mall, while on the road to gas station, there was this motorcycle who overtook the road even if i was on signal turning left that time, so i slow down then he passed over me while saying "tanga-tanga!" (with conviction) and i was at shocked that moment like how can i be stupid while in the first place i came first on the left turn point with my signal lights' on while him who act self-righteous just appeared from no where (such a douche!). to cut the story short, i bear with his stupidity and proceed to gas up then head to the mall. while almost near, traffic was occurred so i had to make "singit" on the cars near the gutter of the road. But unfortunately, there was a crack near manhole so i lost control and bumped my handle to the right side mirror of the car. and for the second time, i was at stake! i looked back the car i bumped, he pull down his window and waiving at me saying to go back. so i did and want to get lost like ten feet down. he asked me where did i hit his car. i said (with pity face) it was on the side mirror and told him about what and why it happened. Fortunately! he didn't get mad (thank God!) and just reminded us to be more careful on driving. So i thanked him hundred times for sparing me then left.
After that second incident, i never had a guts to drive again and encounter the third accident which might take my or someone else life. what I've learned from these experiences is that, when you're driving you need to be focus, be discipline, and be patient (like the car owners who falls in line even though traffic really sucks!) and i think that's the essence of mistakes, to heed the lessons from it!
