1. Suffering an Accident.
Once when I had
just rained not very strong and I asked my dad if
I could drive the bike, he left, but I abused a little
speed, just making a turn sloppy, slip the bike, I tried
to jump out but my foot got stuck, just beating
the mirror right knee in the motorcycle. My parents
were close and were helping me.

Accidents are very
common nowadays. If you turn on the TV and watch a news program, you will see
many issues about accidents. And this does not happen only in big cities; an
accident may occur with anyone, anywhere.
Once, when I was
leaving a snack bar with my mother, and heading to our car, suddenly, a bus and
a car crashed. It happened incredibly fast, when we noticed, bot were
already tipped in the street. Fortunately, thefire
department was located very near from there, so they could rescue the victims
almost immediately. There was no fatal victim. The worst case was the person
who was sitting in the right side of the car - where the bus hit it. Her legs
got stuck in the can, but she was soon rescued, and I believe she has no
serious problem.
Accidents
with buses and trucks are the most common ones. It may be due to the fact that
their pilots use to be in a hurry to deliver the product or take the
people to their destiny. Because of that, they use to drive recklessly, and
cause accidents. And the worst part is that due to the size of a bus or a
truck, usually the victims in the car or motorcycle it crashed are
the ones who get injured the most.
Of course that is not the only cause for accidents.
Many other people that ride a car or a motorcycle also ride recklessly, or
drunk, and cause accidents. In fact, even a person in a bicycle can cause a
fatal accident. For that reason, people should always pay much attention in the
transit, being they pilots or pedestrians, and always try to follow the
transit's rules in order to make it a safe and peaceful way of
transportation.
