Car Accident
I always complain about car accidents and the chaotic way people drive in Iran. Everyone says that I am over sensitive and I exeggerate thing.
29 years ago, my father and my grandmother died in a car accident.
Yesterday, the brother of my good friend, Hamid Reza, also died in a car accident.
How many more deaths until people believe that they need to be more careful?

I am very sorry to hear about Hamid Reza's loss. He has been kind enough to corresponded with me a few times. I will write to him and express my condolences. I am sorry to hear of your loss as well. I lost two good friends 24 years ago in a car accident. They were both 16 years old and were driving to a beach in Florida together with one of their mothers. All three died. I, along with a small group of their close friends, were really devastated. We all spent years working through that tragedy in our own ways. I wholeheartedly share your wish that people should be more careful!
After reading this news, it seems almost trivial to add that I posted a correction to my comment to your previous post. I was wrong about something that I wrote. I apologize for my ignorance.

oversensitive is one word ;) Isn't it the most pointless death when you die because a burst tire?! May his soul rest in peace and l hope his family feel better eventually :(

Guess Iranians never learn until they experience. Sad but true...
