#DailyBloggingChallenge (102/200)

There I was running down the main road off to catch the train a kilometer away with only 5 minutes on the clock. Following the rules of the road running headway onto oncoming traffic, briefly thinking to myself this can in no way be the safest option, since more times than not I was in their blind spot due to obstruction by vegetation.

Right in front me the road went into a sharp bend and the vegetation is still dense enough not to peak through. From behind I hear how some vehicles are gaining up on me and just as they pass me in the narrow bend, I come face to face with an oncoming car.

I instantly jumped into the vegetation as a safety precaution and was surprise that there was no screeching of the tires on the road. It all felt like it was happening in slow motion and all parties left the situation as if nothing occured.

Reinvestigating what just happened is that I had the luck of the vehicles which just passed me on the narrow section, which in returned reduced the speed of the oncoming traffic and also gave them a sense of caution.

Looking back at how the stress of missing the train to void another 20 minutes of waiting can cause so knee jerk stupid actions, fascinates me the most.
