As being almost 64 years old, I had some problem of unclear eye sight and could not notice objects far. I must be careful when driving.
On October 2nd, I, with my two older sisters and a grand nephew went to Srimahosot District, Prachinburi for doing some business about our ancestors' house. Early in the morning ,driving a car to the east which was against the sun, on the highway at Nong jok District, there was the traffic light junction but the red light was broken, I understood that, the light was not in use and therefore I did not stop the car. My car was almost hit the car coming from the opposite direction. It was my fault went through the red signal which I did not notice. I wondered why the officer did not repair the light and made it in use normally as fast as possible. It was dangerous for a dumb guy like me. Driving fast on the high way and there was no clear red signal which could be seen from far away. Thanks, I was saved.
Again, I drove back to the west in the evening, against the sun, There was a cow crossing the road. I was to see it when it was very near and my car moved fast, I almost hit the cow, just an inch passing through her. My heart was down to the ankle. I wondered again, if the owner of the cows acknowledged this matter and directed the cows more carefully. The cows might cause us dead. How many countries which allow the animals [and motorcycle, bicycle, local people, etc] crossing the high way whereas the cars are moving very fast? Thailand is one of them. It was a minute of accident and death.
Now, I still think of these urgent incidents and try to promise to myself that I must drive slowly. But if there are many cars on the road, driving slowly may cause them some trouble. However, driving in Thailand roads depend on how lucky the drivers are. If the stars in horoscope was not in good direction, drive carefully. Chavalvut.
