Yesterday we go to a fiesta. While going home a pick up car latest edition passed through us quickly. It was a car owned by the government since it has a red plate number. Here in the philippines cars catergory are identified through its plates. Red= government property, green= private and yellow= for hire. We're just talking about that vehicle who passed for the driver really drives fast without considering that the way was too slippery due to rain. Later on we saw the car not far the the distance they overtake us encountered an accident. We don't know what happened but we just saw a man in a motorcycle full of blood on his body. His motorcycle were already on the ground and some parts are broken and scattered. We don't stop and see what actually happened. We could not bear to look the the man with a blood on his entire body. We got scared. But we just figured out that the car hit the motorcycle. the driver of the pick up is too reckless he drives too fast that is why he commited an accident. As we go along the pick up passed through us again with the man riding already. I think they'll gonna rushed the man to the nearest hospital. My nerves are shaking. My entire body is shivering. I'm always like that when I saw blood. I couldn't control it.
Have you guys already encountered accidents in your own or have you witnessed an accident? How do you feel about it? Are you scared? What is the first thing that comes to your mind? I'll be glad to hear your story. Thanks for sharing

Dear Sheen
u r right, its scary and one feel in strange condition, sure it happened every where, lot of cars and wagons drive very rash even in areas where there is residence area. I have witnesses few accident on Highway as well as in resident area, the firsrt thing i do after seeing it that i called 1122, its emergency numbers and their mobile ambulances with trained staff to evacuate and treat injured reached soon, then i try to help people come out the car,bus or whatever. And later offer ride to less injured to nearest hospital
The best i can do
Take care

yeah true, the least we can do is to take care. But you what I am thinking at that moment. I'm praying that I driver will be held responsible of his actions and wish that his license will be confiscated from him.

Hi sheen
u r right, action must be taken against driver and his driving license must be suspended
there are laws in country about it , and new trafiic rules are here so rate of accidents is less than b4. i dont believe in later action as then loss has been done, it must be controled b4that
i believe in Fire Prevention then fire fighting.
If we have proper check and balance system, then this can be minimized.
take care dear

I have never witnessed a car accident but there is a day we were going to work when on the way we saw a hired vehicle which hit a person who was cycling carrying big bundles of flour, he was hit from behind and all the flour fell on the car and broke the front mirror. The bicycle guy and the driver were seriously injured but I dint get to take a glimpse, I saw blood all over the road and was shaken the whole day, and had nightmares at night. The accident scene is the worst place i can find myself. It also haunts even kids.

hi sheenmadness... me too can't bear to see blood... it is just too scary for me... i agree with you that there are many reckless drivers nowadays who cause people's lives... they speed, talking on their cellphone while driving, drunk or sleepy... it is just scary... i hope that the man in the motorcycle will be fine...

yeah, accidents and staring at blood are not always easy to bare. No matter how careful are you while driving but if there are reckless drivers we can't really avoid it. It's just annoying. What do you think? :)

I am so sorry for the motorist who got injured and hit by the car driver, who is supposed to be responsible for the motorist with all loss caused by him. I hate to see cars driving so fast at a busy and crowded street. I would feel scared to see bloody scene.

I suggest that the local government must have massive campaign or give education on drivers' road courtesis and speed limit. Here in our locality, I believe there's none. The LGU are very dependent on the program/requirements of that agency that issues driver's licence. That's why, as an educator, I planned to invite speakers on traffic rules, etc. for the students to learn to avoid additional accidents in the future.

I once saw an accident between two cars it was a terrible one. I felt so sorry for the people in the cars that I had to stop and try to help but also at the same time I was scared. The first thing I thought was to find out if everyone was fine and to see if there was anything I could do. My whole body was also shaking and I felt upset for them.
