Last Tuesday, i was out shopping with my mam. Of course, i was driving because i need the experience since i have only started driving, although i have been driving for the last 4 months i still need the experience.
We had been shopping all over the town, getting our weekly fix of "Retail Therapy"!!
There are 4 shopping centres in Dundalk and we had visited 3 of them so far and we were quite exhausted.
It was around 3pm and we decided it was time to head to the Old Shopping Centre, so mam could get her groceries. As she was in Tesco, i headed into Heatons and I was talking with all the girls that i work with. Mam came in and got me at about 3.45pm and said it was time to go home.
She had me the keys of the car and i was all happy as i had been driving all day and i just assumed she was going to drive home herself.
So i started the engine and drove out of the car park. We passed Mac Donald's to get out of the Shopping Centre and i stop at the junction. The traffic was unbelievable! I had to cross a double lane of traffic, but only the outer lane of the traffic jam was bogged down, the inner lane was clear. So I indicated right and looked right twice to make sure that there was no cars coming and i started to pull out when............A car pulled straight in front of me!I slammed on the breaks and there was a hairs length between us!
If i had pulled straight out in front of him he could have crashed into me and i could be in hospital but luckily enough nothing happened and nobody was hurt.
Eventually the guy moved out the way so i could get passed, and i pulled over to the side of the road to calm, i was shaking like a leaf!! But i drove home and i was fine by the time i got home.
Luckily enough mam was with me in the car because i would have totally freaked out if she wasn't there. That was an exciting afternoon!! Well not really!
