A momentary concentration lapse is all it takes
Discussion
Behind the wheel, it only takes a momentary concentration lapse to put you in situation where you really do not want to be.
Circumstances like this serve as a harsh reminder that driving is a constant learning process.
No matter how good you are, no matter how much experience you have, there is always a situation that can come from nowhere and bite you on the bum when you least expect it.
Dire consequences can result, as I know to my cost. It was only yesterday and I know I’ll be beating myself up about it for months to come. I really am ashamed to admit such a stupid, stupid mistake, not to mention bloody annoyed with myself.
I’m devastated and emotionally drained, such is the burden on my mind and conscience. It’s going to take a long time to recover from this.
How could I have been so lax, how could I have failed to anticipate this, how could I have let a caravan overtake me?
