This is why I'm too scared to learn to drive. I don't trust myself and words cannot express how disgusted with myself I would feel if I injured someone, or nearly caused an accident because of a silly mistake. One of my friends was involved in a crash last year. Thankfully nobody was badly hurt, but she did have to be rescued from the car as the front got badly damaged, and she did have to spend some time in hospital as she was in shock and was badly bruised.

A girl I went to school with died in a car accident on Friday. It is really terrifying when you hear about accidents, especially with people you know, and even more so when you've always known them for being very sensible. It really reminds you of how quickly and easily a life can be taken away. Frightening.
