正在吃飯突然想到,18-20歲那附近剛到美國開車經驗還不是很多鬧過很多笑話(?
有一次是在舊金山不小心開到沒有訊號的山路,發現走錯了想迴轉的時候車子前面的輪胎不小心掉進溝裡,旁邊就是山崖
當時都快哭了不知道該怎麼辦,很害怕硬倒車就整台車掉下去,然後手機又沒有訊號。
結果正在我不知如何是好的時候,有一輛逆向的車經過看到我主動停了下來,結果那台車上居然有爸爸哥哥弟弟阿公幾個美國人壯漢!!!!!印象中每個人都超級高的那種(?
就一群人下車幫我把車抬出來了!!!!!!!!!
到現在都超感謝他們,也覺得自己有夠幸運,一直忘不了這件事嗚嗚嗚嗚
另外一件事就是第一次從洛杉磯開去LV的時候,因為I-15在塞車,結果我想說太塞了就下高速公路開到local了,結果開了7-8個小時才到
風景是很美就是了,只是很好笑因為local沒網路,有一段似乎看不到I-15結果我想回去一直回不去
I was in the middle of a meal when it suddenly hit me: around 18–20, when I’d just arrived in the US and didn’t have much driving experience, I made quite a few silly mistakes (?
Once, near San Francisco, I accidentally drove onto a mountain road with no signal. When I realized I’d gone the wrong way and tried to turn around, my front tire slipped into a ditch, right next to a cliff.
I was close to tears and had no idea what to do. I was scared that if I tried to force it in reverse, the whole car would go over the edge, and of course my phone had no signal.
Just when I was completely stuck, a car coming the other way passed by, saw me, and stopped on its own. And in that car: a dad, his sons, and a grandpa, a whole crew of big American guys!!!!! As I remember it, every one of them was super tall (?
They all got out and lifted my car out of the ditch!!!!!!!!!
I’m still so grateful to them, and I feel incredibly lucky. I’ve never forgotten it.
The other time was my first drive from LA to Vegas. The I-15 was jammed, so I thought, this is way too crowded, let me get off the freeway and take local roads. It ended up taking me 7–8 hours to get there.
The scenery was beautiful, though. The funny part: there was no internet on the local roads, and at one point I couldn’t see the I-15 anymore. I kept trying to get back on it and just couldn’t.
