Beware of the runaway car going downhill

THE EDITOR: There is a runaway car going downhill, its driver is so happy that he got his licence that he forgets that driving is a great responsibility, and many people could be hurt if the car crashes especially on the hill.

This car is loaded with passengers each enjoying themselves, and the driver himself is laughing all the way while pedestrians on the road are not aware of the wild driving that could cause their demise. People going down the hill are not concerned with the seriousness these days with so many fatal accidents. Certain people while walking on that road were knocked down on that same hill when the driver said he got away from a pot hole to make accommodation for a car just like his, and the accident was unavoidable. Many people on that road were lucky enough to get a lift in the car although it was full to capacity because they knew the driver very well, and they were accommodated because they help in cleaning the car while changing the tyres, and so on.

There are others who were given lifts for free, but their families had to pay for the ride because the rides were given without their consent, and those rides were given on a bumpy and dangerous road. The rate that the driver is driving he seems to be heading for disaster, and crashing the vehicle with all its passengers. The people in the car would not tell him that he is not driving safe because they know he believes he is the best driver around. A new car should perform better, but it would seem that it is a new car, but in reality it is a refurbished vehicle with second hand parts hence the reason that there is suspicion that the brakes are not working. While the car is on its way downhill there is a lot of noise like gunshots, but the driver tells his passengers, “Let not your hearts be troubled, it’s only firecrackers.”

This car going down the hill at that rate is definitely a food for thought. What seems to be the problem is that a lot of money is spent to keep the car in working condition. The amount of money spent on that car would definitely send the driver bankrupt, but one thing the passengers are properly insured in case there is an accident. How long would that car continue going downhill is another question, but many people say that the way the car is swaying from side to side it is definitely going to crash. Let’s hope there is not a blown tyre or  other problems like the running out of gas will not occur or the car would crash killing its passengers and pedestrians alike. Beware, there is definitely a car going downhill so fasten your safety belts fright away or it maybe too late.
