The dangers of road

Roads always are warning us about their dangers. At the last week, it’s always showing me dangerous situations like if the road was telling me: “Be careful, keep clean your mind and pay attention, or you will crash at the first time you get distracted”.

I say these things because since last Saturday I saw a couple of times the problems that can cause animals in the middle of the road.

Last Saturday I was making sider in my parent’s country house, that is near to AS-1 motorway that connects Mieres with Gijón. It was about 8 o’clock at night and I was taking my things and getting ready to go home, when I hear a claxon, a brake and inmediately a crash. Inmediately it sounds a new crash, a moment of calm and other crash. When I went out to see what was happends, it were 4 cars stopped on the right side of road, and a car in the middle of the road. I couldn’t see any more because it was very dark and I was a little far, but Monday I read in the newspaper that the accident was caused by a horse that walked into the motorway. It dead, but neither of people who crash had health problems.

But it’s not all. Yesterday at night, when I went to Oviedo to take home my girlfriend Eugenia, I ran over a dead wild boar that was in the middle of the road again. At a few meters there was other car on the right side and I stopped behind it to watch if my car was good and if the other driver was good. My car had not anything damaged, but the girl of the other car was very nervous. She still was on the car, and she went down very nervous when she saw us. We calm her a bit, called police and watch her car. It was damaged at the front because she knock down the wild boar, but it wasn’t very much. When she calmed down, she told us how it happened and we were talking and waiting for the police and for her parents. They came near together, and then I took another look to my car with the light of the police to verify that it was all fine and we follow our way to Oviedo.

There was all scares, but sometimes I think that if we were in the motorbike instead of in the car, probably it would be more serious because probably we would crash. So I have to be careful on the road, and much more if I drive my motorbike.
