Reflective Essay: Drifting Problem


Cars drifting have become so widespread in Saudi Arabia which every boy is talking about. In actual fact, cars drifting are a dangerous sport that causes death so easily; nevertheless, many teenager guys are being attracted to this very dangerous, disadvantageous kind of sport. I think the most guys who playing this sport are uneducated guys because they don't know that every family are menaced to be killed. Nowadays, the real, important reason of this hazardous sport is the spare time which most of the people have.
One day, when I was 16 years old, I was driving in a vast road with my friends. Even though the street was really enormous, it looked like a small street because there were a lot of guys whose ages are 14 to 23 were waiting the cars drifting to begin. I decided with my friends who like to watch this kind of sport to park my car and go watching them. While we were talking and waiting for the cars to show up, there was a black car that you can not see anything in it drove with a really high speed. Actually, the car which was BMW that considered as an expensive car with strange tires that looks like truck tires was drifting right and left in the middle of the street, and the unbelievable thing is that there were some young guys walking cross the street while the black car was driving toward them. Suddenly, the right, back tire of the BMW exploded and tore like pieces of glass. The car was tumbling in the air for 9 seconds in the air and finally toppled on the street on the conversing side.
After this phenomenon happened, the whole people who were watching this huge accident gathered around the car to help the driver, yet he had already died. I found that the driver who was the best person of this sport in our town was still younger. He was a tall, thin guy with black hair. In fact, the pink shirt which he was wearing was replete with his blood. The blood was everywhere that made me having a little bit headaches. Here I was asking myself some question about that died boy. How could his family or correctly his parents allow him to drive a car while he is a boy who was just 17 years old? Had they known that their child may be in danger or did they think that he will die while he is driving and drifting? The boy's head was everywhere and his legs were being cut. It was really a horrible landscape for me because if you saw this kid while he is outstretched on the street, you would have never known his face or identity, so how could for his parents to let him doing such a thing.
After a while his father came to the accident position and saw his child corpse on the street beside his car, but he didn't show any emotion about what happened to his child. The child's father was a big, old, serious man with wide sunglasses that seems he is an affluent man. Reality, when the father came, he was riding a car that was an expensive car the same as his child. He just said when he saw his child that he deserves to be died and then went ahead. Here I became more turbulent because the main reason of what happened to his child was him. He just gave him the can instead of admonish or teach his child about the advantages and disadvantages of using the car. He just let him drive and risk his life for nothing. After a couple of days, the government arrested the father because he was such a inadvertent, self-centered man that he couldn't even pick up his child to the hospital instead of leaving him like the trash on the street. I was really sorry to the child because he had has the wrong father who nobody can image his inconsiderableness character. Hence, I desire that everyone who was watching this regrettable accident to learn a lesson from this event, and every family had better leave his child with a car alone instead of teach him the right way to use the car.
