про стрессы на местных дорогах

Обсуждая дорожные ситуации http://ivan-gandhi.livejournal.com/1928862.html, вспомнил пару очень старых историй, имевших место со мной.

Одна не говорит ни о чем, кроме того какой я везунчик: в довольно дискомфортном для водителей месте, въезжаю с латерали на быструю часть. Вдруг, общее вынужденное торможение. Из въежающих столкнулись две машины передо мной, и две за мной, а я целенький!

Вторую историю копирую из старого файла, лень переводить.

"Yesterday we (I and my wife) came back from a short trip nearby
Mexico City. Last segment of this journay was smashed by an accident where
neither we, nor our car got a scratch, but a girl had broken completely
her car against a tree.

I was looking for my exit from the high-speed part of the road, but the traffic sign was partially ocluded by branches of a tree. So I have a very short interval between seeing completely the text and turning slightly the wheel to the lateral.

That moment I saw a car driving behind me with a much higher speed. It also took his way to the lateral. I understood that if I would close the exit, it hits me, so I let a sufficient room for the car by jumping with my left wheel over the pavement stone on the angle separating the high-way from the lateral.

Both cars passed the exit OK, but other driver lost control: a too strong movement of the wheel and an abrupt braking. So, the girl hit first the left-hand pavement of the road and then crossed all three lines of the lateral and hit a tree at the right-hand side.

Thanks God, no more cars were there at the moment. Her airbug had worked OK.

Then this drama became a comedy. She called to insurance and to her parents. The parents came literally in 2-5 minutes. At that moment there already came two or three policemen. Then their number increased to 6-8. They intended to act so that to suck as much money from the girl as possible. They wanted to move the car before coming insurance, they took the girl's papers off instead of just writing the data, they called for ambulance in spite the fact that there was no need, etc.

I understood that the fact that I am a witness and, moreover, a forainer
is the only factor which would prevent policemen from following their
plan.

So I decided to wait the insurance together with the victim, in spite of
the fact that there was no formal need for that because I was not guilty
in the accident and all my data and my story were written by policemen.

So finally, the insurance guy arrived, retrieved girl's documents from
policemen. We shaked hands with the girl's father, and I gone."

Интересно, как в подобных ситуациях себя чувствуют другие. Про себя заметил четко: время вдруг растягивается, а все что просходит буквально за 1-2 секунды, обрастает массой деталей которые видишь, исполняешь и должен испонить...

Да-да, очень прикольно. Врубается какая-то пятая передача, и всё очень чётко фиксируется. Можем если захотим.

Скорее, сможем, даже если не захотим. Но это потому, что мы одной крови. Девица-то из моей истории явно другой крови... Ее до аварии довел собственный испуг. Я все для нее сделал, чтобы она осталась целой. Глупость состояла в том, что я искал знак, а она там живет и знает все съезды, поэтому неслась...
