Finally got to drive in the place where I crashed almost a year ago.
I’m a new driver (almost a year of driving pa lang). And last year, around the 2nd month of driving, I crashed our car at a mall parking lot. It was so bad - the driver’s side was so damaged, our insurance claim hit 750k and I had to pay 15k to the other party (kahit na may TPL kami).
Ever since, I tried my best to overcome my fear of driving and crashing. I took driving lessons again one month after the crash. I also became a more cautious driver. But I never drove to that mall anymore. I still went there but my partner would drive or mag trike na lang ako.
Last week, I needed to drive there kasi ang lakas ng ulan and mahirap magcommute. Sobrang ngatog talaga halos nagpapawis kamay ko and ang gulo ng utak ko. The moment na may nakita akong empty slot kahit ang layo sa entrance nagpark na ako agad. After non, nanginginig pa rin kamay ko.
Baby steps but I’m glad nagawa ko and safe ako nakauwi din.
