I am not ready to write everything about the accident, but the lesson I learned can help other people. Driving carelessly is dangerous.One day, I was driving on the road. A car across from me seemed to be turning right, but the driver changed （改变） his mind and kept going.I didn't notice （注意） that, because I was trying to get my phone. Then I heard a big noise.The accident happened.
Some people saw the accident and came to ask me something, but I was in panic and couldn't think of anything. I wanted to call someone for help. However, I couldn't find my phone and I didn't remember anyone's phone number. Finally,the police found my bag in the car and my iPad was in it. They sent a message to my family.
From the accident, I hope people can learn that: be careful when driving. It's dangerous to use phones when driving. Don't drive quickly. It's necessary to keep your family's phone numbers in mind. With a phone today, almost nobody tries to remember phone numbers anymore. But sometimes,your mind works better than your phone.
