One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a true story which happened with me in 1996.It was summer, end of August, I left from Baja to Budapest by hitch-hiking at 5 a.m. Quite soon stoped a BMW, there was only the driver in the car. I said, I d like to go to Pest, and his said, he just driving. I asked, then could you take me to the city? The answer was 'yes'. I sat to his car, and he told me his story about that, he just divorced, and he is tired and a little bit hangover. We started our way, and he said, I shoul use the seatbelt. I used it. He started to drive by 120 km/hs, and we crossed a village by this speed too. After this, he drove by 250km/hs, which was the limit of the car. I said, 'hey hey, slower, relax. He drove with the normal speed. He asked me: do you want to see my gun? He showed me, and I tought it. It was a nice Colt, but I gave it back, and he took it under the seat. The car started to sliding, he tried to do his best, but the car started to spin and we crashed with a tree. Both of us fainted, the luck was that, we used the seatbelt. When I was ok again, my back hurted a lot, and I stayed in the car. There were a lot of people while we waited for the ambulancy. They asked, where is the driver, (he got out from the car before) and he came out from the crown, and said, 'he isn t here yet'. They took me to the hospital. I felt dizzy. Some hours later in the hospital two men woke up me, and the wanted to listen me as a witness. They said: we found a gun. A gun?- I asked. I realized, I tought it, and I told the true. The wanted to search in my home. I gave my address. The policemen went to search my mother, and they asked her: Do you know where is your son? -Sure, he is at Pest. - Not really, he is in the hospital at Kalocsa. Poor my mother! They checked my home, and they realized, the gun wasn t mine, I was just a hitch-hiker. I spent 4 days in the hospital. I travelled back by hitch-hiking and told the story to the driver. He was surprised. Two weeks later I met with the "crazy" driver, but he didn t really remember me, only that, someone was next to him on that day. We were glad, cause we are healthy. I think, this story was instructive, and I had luck.
