We experienced a life and death situation and were in shock for the next hour.
After the video above ended, I made a u-turn and Azis, the car salesman sitting bedside me was inviting me to try the manual option of the gear/transmission but I ignored him, deciding to focus on the driving, now that this is my first drive of this wonderful new machine. Up ahead we saw a big truck that had diagonally parked at the side of the road reversing into the road. I looked back to the lane on my right to confirm it was clear for me to change lane to avoid the slowly reversing truck. Azis helped hit the horn while I passed the truck seemingly about to hit us, and then Azis said, "There's no driver!"
Nugget said that we were almost under the truck and we had passed it by a whisker. We looked behind and saw the car on the right lane stopping, and the truck was stopped by the road divider.
What a close shave, us with the brand new car just out of the showroom to buy petrol. Hopefully, though, if something bad had happened, we should have been protected by this touted safe vehicle. But as we recovered from our shock, we were just grateful we escaped, thank God.
And so it was, a memorable event of taking delivery of my new car. This time it is really new, as my previous one from 2005 was a used car, let alone the one before that from 1991! Yeah, most of Cin's cars over the years have been brand new, but all mine were used. So this time, the purchase of my car is special.
See the photo album of us taking delivery of the automobile.
