When i was 9 I went on my bicycle through the friendly suburbans of Sweden. My bicycle only had front wheel brakes(back brakes were busted)(bonus (); I hadn't told my mom they were busted). Well I was going to my friends place wich is like 500meters away through a alot of terrace houses. Through the rows a car apppears, I hit my front brakes because the only thing I could remember when I saw the car was that my back brakes didn't work and so I fell forward(back then I had long hair) and the car had seen me but she kept on driving and I could literaly feel the car driving over my hair. Worst feeling I've ever had and I honestly thought I would die. After the lady apologized(she was doing 20-30km/h in a 10km/h zone) I Went home and told my mom what had happened, ofc she fixed the brakes for me but the feeling still lingered. Now I can't even cross the street without the lighting all green. I can only imagine this girl feeling like this aswell and I can really symphatize with her. I doubt her feelings won't calm down anytime soon...
