Scariest Moment

One of the scariest moments in my life was when I was about to get into a car accident. That day I realized that driving needs to be taken seriously. At the time I had my permit for 6 months and was days away for taking my driving test. My mom lets me basically drive her everywhere. When it comes to driving I feel like I am a pretty safe driver but that day was the first time I made a bad decision while driving.

On a Saturday evening I was driving to the mall with my mom and I come to a stop sign so I stop. Then I look both ways and see a car coming and I wait for it to go my mom tells me I could have made it but I stopped just to be on the safe side. Seconds after the car passes an SUV pulls up to the stop sign next to me and blocks my right side view and I kind of forget to check again so I just cross the stop sign and all of a sudden I here my mom scream I look to the right and see a car ready to T-bone me. My mom is still screaming the other driver slams on the brakes and I slam my foot on the gas pedal to get out of the intersection. I was surprised that I was smart enough to hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes because usually people stop when something wrong happens.

At this point I was shocked and shaking and the other driver was honking his horn and following me so I park my car and the guy says why did you do that I answered I am sorry but I didn't mean to do it on purpose and he takes off. I was really scared and realized that driving is a responsibility you need to take seriously.
