I've got a story. In Boston, I was driving during rush hour and there was a huge traffic jam. People were honking their horns non - stop which was really annoying. Then, a big truck started to back up without looking and almost hit my car. It was a nightmare. The lack of proper signage in some areas also adds to the horror of driving in Boston. You might be driving along thinking you're on the right road and then suddenly find out you're not.
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.
Bad drivers. There are those who don't follow traffic rules like running red lights or not using signals. Another common element is the traffic congestion. It can be so bad that it drives people crazy. And the confusing layout of the roads too.
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.
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.
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.
One of the Boston horror stories could be about the old, abandoned asylums in the outskirts. People claim to hear strange noises and see shadowy figures at night. It gives an eerie feeling as if the tortured souls from the past still linger there.
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.
Sure. Once, a driver noticed a deer about to cross the road suddenly. Thanks to his quick reaction and proper braking, he avoided hitting the deer and prevented a possible accident. Another story is about a family on a road trip. Their car had a flat tire on a busy highway. But because the driver knew how to safely pull over and change the tire following the safety procedures, they were back on the road without any harm.
There was this time when a woman was driving to a job interview. She was so nervous that she mistook the gas pedal for the brake. The car lurched forward suddenly when she was parking. Luckily, no one was hurt. She still managed to make it to the interview on time, but she had a good laugh about it later.
