Driver Of The Year
Posted by Prairierose on Jan 02, 2009We were sooo lucky a few days after Christmas. We had gone to Topeka to celebrate Christmas with David’s daughter. After opening presents, we went out to lunch, and then we all went our seperate ways to shop. It had started snowing when we were eating, and got progressively worse. While we were shopping, we even considered getting a room in Topeka and not trying to navigate our way home in a snowstorm. However, we had more shopping to do, so we forged on.
It was then, when what could have been a very bad situation happened. A car pulled out from a side street. We were going slow. They were going slow. However. When you have no traction, and all is snowy and icy, it doesn’t matter how slow you are going. And it was all in slow motion, as David tried very hard to keep us from hitting them, or vice versa. As well as not rolling our vehicle, as he was forced into the side of a ditch to keep from hitting her. I am happy to say that my husband deserves the “driver of the year” award and we won’t have to be hiring a Lexington personal injury lawyer or any other kind of lawyer or repair shop. I don’t know how he did it, but he kept from hitting her, and kept us from rolling as he did what he had to do to drive us out of it. That was such a scary moment, and seemed to just keep going and going and going. Would not have been a good way to end the year. We have had this vehicle less than a month. We just got rid of a vehicle that had scrap marks and a dent down the side. Someone was most definately looking over us!
