What Would You Do?
Sometimes I wonder what would’ve happened if, say, I had been leaning against the taxi door when it flung open during a sweeping left-hand turn or I would’ve been one step ahead when the mini-bus brushed up against me.
Do you ever play out situations in your mind? Like, what would you do if you were about to get hit by a car? Would you jump up on the hood, then the roof, all the while performing some ninja kick for the crowd.
I hadn’t even considered that falling out of a taxi was a possibility before the other night. Now I wonder what I’d do if were to happen again. Would I grab for the door and hope that the taxi driver has the wherewithal to stop so I can get back in? Would I reach for the hand thing just above the window and hang on for dear life? Or would I just be like Nisrin and hit the ground rolling?

I've often wondered what I would do if a car door suddenly opened at speed. I haven't quite decided the best course. Probably I'd be left hanging on the door handle ala keystone cops as we flew around a corner. 'Course I often look at the problem from the perspective of a passerby who has just had a car door flung open in front of him. Will the the surgeon be able to fix me up good as new?
