Guiding Hand 02
指引著我的手 02
It was then that I heard someone say my name, very clearly from the back seat of the car and felt a hand on my shoulder. Naturally I freaked out and my instinct was to take my foot off the accelerator and pull back into the lane I had come from and check if someone else (namely an axe wielding maniac as per urban legend) was in the car, however, a quick glance in the rear-view showed no one in the back seat.
As I moved my eyes from the rear-view mirror back to the darkened highway ahead, a dark blue Holden Commodore sedan, it’s headlights off, flew past me straddling the two lanes of the highway, doing what I estimate to be about 160km/hour. Its speed was such that it rocked my vehicle as it passed. Had I moved into the other lane at the time I had planned, the driver would not have had time to slow down and I have no doubt that I would have been killed...the realization of this was what made me pull over to the side of the road.
就在這時(shí),我聽到有人叫我的名字,非常清晰地從車的后座上傳來,我還感覺到我肩膀上搭著一只手。我當(dāng)然嚇得魂飛魄散,憑著本能,我趕緊松開油門,把車開回我之前的那條車道,想看看我車?yán)锩孢€是誰(就像是電影《都市傳奇》里的那個(gè)拿著斧頭亂揮的瘋子),但是我從車子的后視鏡里卻沒看到后座上有人。當(dāng)我把視線重新從后視鏡移回前方漆黑的高速公路時(shí),一輛深藍(lán)色的holden commodore轎車從我身邊呼嘯而過,時(shí)速我估計(jì)有每小時(shí)160公里,車子跨線行駛,而且前燈也沒開。要是我剛才像我想的那樣開到另外一條車道上,那個(gè)司機(jī)肯定沒時(shí)間減速,那樣毫無疑問我就沒命了。想到這個(gè),我把車停在了高速公路一邊。
