Testing My Speed Limit | A Near Death Experience

Crazy things are happening, back in the days, I use to think of crazy stuff especially based on what I do watch online when I was way younger, I watch wrestle a lot and I do practice it if I'm alone, I watch people hiking for hours, climbing mountains without getting scared, some even engage in dangerous stuff and all, all those stuff use to get in my head and I will be like, maybe one day I will try all this stuff, the interesting one was racing, the speed stuff and I had to start playing racing games starting from asphalt, as long as it is a game of speed I will always have interest but there was no way to try it out back then.

So one day I decided to learn how to drive because of a friend of my who is an OG when it come to driving, he do tell me he didn't really learn from driving school, he just find a way to learn the basic and boom he started using his mom manual car to practice and after years, he is an expert according to him, anytime he drives me, I will always make sure I hold onto something even after using seatbelt because according to his view, he is the only one on the road and when he speed, I will be saying Jesus inside me😂. Learning how to drive was kind of easy because it took me just 5 days to learn and was done the following week, had to test drive using my friend automatic car (story for another day) before getting my own. The first time I drove home from Lagos to Ogun state alone, it was as if I was on a low speed mission but I didn't go beyond 50Km/hr especially in Ogun state because the road was really bad, after that was successful and try it couple of times, that really strengthen my courage and driving skills.

One day I decided to go home and a female friend of mine decided to tag along, free ride, while on our way, I decided to stay on my average 50km/hr speed limit until she started complaining I was driving too slow on an express, I look at her with this side eye look and that stupid spirit remind me about how I always wish to break my speed limit, how I love watching racing cars and this is the perfect time to showcase the skill and let her know that I'm not a slow driver, without thinking twice, I race am, leg on the accelerator and boom 80, 100, for the first time and it felt really good 😂 until one unfortunate trailer decided to surprise me, it came out of a street in a reverse manner and I was able to sight it from far off, the rate at which I match the brake ehn, thank God we both use seat belt, I felt the aftermath through my brain because I felt this headache and she was asking me what happened, why did I match the brake suddenly before I told her to look her front and see something. That day I thank my star that there were no car speeding behind me because the way the car will crash into mine ehn, I just don't want to imagine it. Since them I hate speeding and just maintain my 50km/hr or slightly 70, but never 100
