reincarnation *********** As everybody is shocked by the news of fatal road accidents with Nepalese in USA. I had been in such a situation that the same could happen to me last month as well. It happenned like this... I had to go to DeMoines City,Iowa;some 114 miles from the place I am living. I had very few alternatives to travel the distance because smart guys were uninterested to cooperate. One of young friend of mine,who is new to driving in the Highway, was ready to help me. I accepted him to drive me to the city uninteresting, though I talked few days ago I would not go with the inexperienced driver. The nest day we started to the destination early in the morning at 8 o'clock. It was alright till the distance we travelled 50 Miles. The young guy, he is very nice to me, drove quite well. half an hour later I felt he is unstable in certain situation;he is not perfect in overtaking the vehicles. I reminded him of this fact that he had to drive in low speed. He kept mum. Later in half an hour time he overtook 7 vehicles; the car we riding was in approximately 75 Miles per hour. He picked his mobile from his pocket and started to join in the wire hanging nearby. I hastily took the set and tried to join the device in the wire-the vehicle was running in the same speed; at the same moment he lost the control of the vehicle-I guess he was watching me to join the device. The vehicle started swinging at first-at a speed of 75 Miles per hour,after that it ran like a snake, after that the front of the vehicle was heading towards the direction we were going; and again it turned to the front and slipped to the left ditch of the drive way. The vehicle was jumped in the snow filled small ditch. Luckily the day was snowing, every nook and corner was filled with the snow and none of the vehicle was coming from the opposite direction of the driveway. Some 5 vehicles stopped near the accident site in few seconds and started watching us. I saw my fried who was nervous and mum, I took a breadth and found everything fine. I opened the door of the vehicle and waved everybody we were fine. My suggestion to everybody is please go on driving with only experienced driver and if you find the driver is diverting his attention from the drive way when the vehicle is running, stop him doing such foolishness.
