my first crash

Today i again went to the airport to pick up a close family pal.though today i started late and the rain was not to bee seen,I had a lot of confidence,and unlike last time when the car had an old set of wipers,This time we had an entirely new set of wipers,So i could see the road more clearly,Infact conditions were pretty ideal.And i was accompanied by a cousin who was and has always been very encouraging to me.he has always tried to guide me very well when i drive . in a way hes been a backbone all thoughout my life.
I started the car initialy the way i usually do But today i did it quite precisely.ANd there was not shruddering.i could manouvere it perfectly.And today i was quite confident that i could take it to speeda above 60 the limit that i had set for myself.And i was in the 4 th gear for a long time and i could easily remain in it.Not even once did i think of downshifting,ONly once did i miss my way,Though i should have remembered it coz i had been to the airport only 2 days ago still i took the flypver and that stretched for another 6 kms both way,Then eventually we reached the airport entrance, the road is mostly straight.,At the next junction i slowed down there was a mess at the right side near the divider and i slowly stopped the car .I was on the extreme right very close to the divider as per the rules i should have taken a right turn and i should have gone in the right direction,But till the signal was red i shut down the engine,once the green light started i just shifted the gear into a neutral by the time i had put the gear a rickshawalla sheared off the bumper, And he did it so badly that i could not believe my eyes when i saw the bumper to be cut in the left
After recieveing th person we wanted to from the terminal 2 again it was me behind the wheel but this time i knew all the roads perfectly and i was determined to drive perfectly.I started the car perfectly normally the way i always start it,And by the time we were on the western express highway the rains were lashing the car very \nbadly.But i drove it steadily knowing that this would be the last time id be touching the wheel.By the time we had crossed Sion the rain was lashing way too badly.And it was really difficult to maintain the high speed i was in considering my \nvisibility.Eventually we reached home but the sight of a crashed Ford Mondeo which was stranded on the highway sent shock waves through my heart.\u003c/div\>\n\u003cdiv\> When i came back home my cousin explained me why i should not be asking the car from anyone and i did realise that it was my fault i should have not been in the right track.But one thing was certain that i would not get the car for a second \ntime.Next morning my grandpa didnt come to know anything abt the crashed bumper but when my cousin told him about that .he didnt say anything, then when i asked him whether i could accompany him to the office he blankely refused.
side.It had been really cut so sharply.My cousin got out of the car to deal with the rickwalla,and there followed an argument,which lasted for about 10 mins.My cousin got in and he told me only one thing "Now do u realise why anyone would not like to give u his car" Soon we reached the airport and there we could not find any space to park our car,i safely backed it up,And stood waiting to find a place to park it,Eventually we did find a place to park it,And this spot was very narrow,after some high revved turns i did park it.
