The week that made me not want to drive again...

I used to love driving in Cairo. People would always talk about how crappy it was.. and I would always talk about how much fun it was.
That was true until recently. Recently I have become bitter with traffic. My commute from work is at least 30 minutes longer this year. That was pissing me off...
Last week was the worst.. last week I started to become scared of driving.

On Monday I was driving back from work and I saw a horrible accident. It was two cars ahead of me.
I saw a car flip over. I saw the faces on the people trapped inside. I saw a man's shoe (which I think was still on his foot) under the wheel of an 18 wheeler truck. I saw another huge truck with a ruptured gas tank. The gas was spilling all over the road. In the end there were 5 cars and 2 massive trucks involved. I wanted to cry. I wanted to park my car and never drive again. I was depressed for 2 days and just worried about my drives to work.

On Thursday I was driving and suddenly my car started swerving. It slid all the way to the left side of the road and then it slid all the way to the right side of the road. There were other cars around and I have no idea how they did not hit me. I am not sure, but I am guessing there was oil on the road and it was not cleaned up properly and that is what happened... but the not having control over anything scared the shit out of me.

I want to park my car and just stay home...
