Car accidents can be avoided if we are really careful in daily activities. The accident in the front of People Supermarket last month when I mistook the gas pedal for the break could have been avoided, if I had been careful.

We planned to buy a lot of fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, rice papers and cooking’s ingredients to make a baby shower party. It would be a very …show more content…
She could not say any word. I turned off the car and we got out. Miraculously, no one was injured. It was early so no customers were in the store. The store manager ran out. She said she thought it was a gas explosion. The shards of glass flew in everywhere. There was some abandoned aluminum frames. The gypsum ceiling was broken in the lobby area. Tables and chairs fell down in all directions. In addition, the store’s alarm bell rang loudly. The sight seemed as an earthquake has just gone through this place. The store manager called 911.

The policeman got my key and reversed the car. He took a look on car and said to me about the accident was made by my mistaken the gas pedal for the brake. The policeman collected my driver license, insurance and information of the store manager. My car was still working. The policeman advised we can still use the car to come back home and he left. We exchanged the phone number, insurance information with the store manager. Although the accident, we decided to continue to go market. We still needed to buy a lot of things to prepare for the baby shower party. So we went market quickly for buying food stuffs. As we had done all the shopping, we came back to the car. There were still a few shards of glass on car roof. The bumper and hood were heavy braking. The front license plate was dropped. There were a lot of dents and scratches on my car, but its engine was still working. We put the food stuffs, the groceries in the boot and drove back home.
There are some things we can do to avoid an auto accident. However, the carefulness is the importance thing with me. After my mistaken gas pedal accident at People Supermarket, I studied a thing: Always hold my right leg on the brake pedal when I come in the market. The carefulness twice or more always
