One time I was driving at night on a lonely highway. Suddenly, a figure in white darted across the road. I slammed on the brakes but there was no one there when I looked closely. It really freaked me out.
I had an experience where my car started making really strange noises while I was on a long drive. It sounded like someone was scratching at the underside of the car. I pulled over at the nearest gas station. The mechanic found a wire that had come loose and was hitting the bottom of the car, but it was a really scary moment.
One horror story is about a young couple driving home at night. A drunk driver sped through a red light and crashed into their car. The couple was severely injured, and the girl lost her leg. It was a nightmare for them and changed their lives forever.
A group of friends were coming back from a bar. One of them, who was drunk, insisted on driving. He drove at a very high speed and missed a sharp turn. The car flipped several times. Miraculously, they all survived but with multiple fractures and internal injuries. This incident not only scarred them physically but also mentally. They all learned the hard way that drinking and driving is never an option.
I once failed my driving test because I got so nervous that I completely forgot how to parallel park. It was a total disaster. I was shaking and just couldn't do it right, even though I had practiced it many times before.
Well, I heard of a driving instructor who had really bad temper. He would slam on the brakes suddenly if the student made a mistake, scaring the student half to death. There was also this case where the driving instructor kept talking on his phone while the student was driving, completely ignoring the safety of the situation. Then there's the one who made inappropriate remarks to female students, which was really unacceptable.
Well, I remember a really bad experience. There was this crazy driver who was swerving all over the road while talking on their phone. I was so scared that I tried to get away from them as soon as possible. Also, the narrow and confusing streets in Boston make it really difficult to drive sometimes. You might end up in a one - way street going the wrong way without realizing it until it's too late.
I heard about an Uber driver whose car got broken into by another vehicle while the passenger was still inside. The other driver was clearly in a rage and started yelling at the Uber driver and the passenger. It was a very frightening situation for both the driver and the passenger.
I once stalled my car at a busy intersection on my first day. All the cars behind me were honking and I was so flustered. I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first. Finally, I realized I had let the clutch out too quickly. It was really embarrassing.
I don't really have an 'asparagus story' related to driving and horror. But I can imagine a scenario where someone is driving at night, sees something that looks like a giant asparagus in the middle of the road, and freaks out thinking it's some kind of horror - ish apparition. It could be a really stupid moment if it turns out to be just a strange - looking tree or a pile of trash that got blown into a weird shape.
One drunk driving story I heard was about a man who thought he could drive home after having a lot at a party. He swerved all over the road and ended up hitting a mailbox. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. But he got in big trouble with the law.
One of my first - time driving horror stories was when I was driving on a narrow mountain road. I misjudged a turn and almost went off the edge. It was terrifying. I slammed on the brakes just in time and my heart was pounding like crazy.
