It
was eleven in the night the other day. My friend Benjamin and I were
driving back to his home in Bridgetown. During the course of our
journey,we touched upon many topics of conversation. However, it was
when we dodged a speeding truck that came charging towards us menacingly
from the opposite direction and almost knocked us off the road that we
got really shaken up! As we gathered our thoughts together, Benjamin
remarked. “We got saved by a whisker,man!”. Yes we were lucky that time.
As we resumed our drive the conversation veered around the alarming
increase in traffic and rampant rise road accidents of late. It has even
been reported that drinking and driving is not illegal in Barbados
either. No wonder the rise in accidents!
We
drove into a lonely stretch of road which was barely lit. No sooner had
we got over the shock of the jolt about twenty minutes ago than a
twenty wheeler from the right stormed in and tossed our cadillac like a
match box. A few cartwheels of the car made our heads spin all the more.
