On my way to the office today, a white van barreling down a road that joined mine at a T junction nearly removed my car, and possibly me, from service. Fortunately, disaster was averted by some heavy breaking and staccato tire squealing on my part (no ABS on the 1997 Fiat-TOFAS Tipo).
This in itself is not news. Near-misses in traffic are a million a day here. What made this event special was that the driver pulled over at a suitable spot some 300 meters on, rolled down his window, and poking both arms and his head out of the window gestured toward me for forgiveness.
And it all happened so quickly that I didn’t have a chance to give him a warm huggie to let him know that while I was annoyed at his carelessness I still appreciated his accountability.
P.S. For those of you who thought this entry might have something to do with audio, I have no reason to think that the white van had anything to do with speaker sales.
