Just came back from a weekend trip from KL.
Bloody tired as always.
However, it could have been worse. I was fortunate enough to escape a major car pile up accident on the way back.
It was raining pretty heavily the whole journey so I decided to drive at a much slower pace then my usual cruising speed.
The bus in front of me slowed down suddenly and I followed suite.
A few seconds later I realized there was a major accident up ahead and the bus stopped to avoid hitting the already damaged car up ahead. Then I heard some major emergency brake action behind me and cars honking frantically. At that point, I had virtually stopped my car leaving about half a car length between the bus and me. I was prepared for the possibility of my car being knocked from behind as I held my steering wheel tightly (just in case I need to do some last minute maneuvering). Fortunately the car behind didn't hit me but frantic honking continued behind me.
A minute or so, the bus managed to maneuver his vehicle past the damaged car in front of him and i followed suit. As I drove through, I saw what may be 10 damaged vehicles (3 turned turtle). I looked my side mirror and realized that no car followed behind me. I wondered if another pile up proceeded behind me.
Anyways, glad to be home.

God bless. (Which ever god you pray to)
I truly feel lucky.
My friend told me 30 cars were involved in the major accident.
I guess the cars behind me wasn't as lucky as me.
moral of the story: dun go too fast on highways, v might not knw there r cars piling in front of us...and end up piled together.
I was driving less then 80km/h actually.
To me, the moral of the story is that no matter how careful one may be, we can't escape fate. I could have drove really slow but still got hit from the back by another car in such situations.
I was lucky.
glad tht u r fine! :)
Thx Addie
