Falling objects at the Metropolitan Expressway

Road emergency dial is # 9910

The other day, I was running on the Shuto Expressway with Black Carrera (991.2).

I didn't run so fast because there were cars on the whole, but it seemed like I was able to run normally without slowing down more than necessary (due to congestion).

I was running 911 under such circumstances, but it was a momentary event.

When I suddenly thought that the brake light of the car running in front turned on, I braked more suddenly than I expected.

From the image taken from the drive recorder, the car in front can be seen far in front, but the actual feeling is that it is not so far away and it is closer.

The car in front suddenly slowed down due to sudden braking, so the moment I thought "What? What did you do?", A falling object appeared in front of me.

Wow. It's quite big.

This is an insurmountable one! If you don't avoid it, it's dangerous!

This image may not convey a sense of urgency, but it was a momentary event from when I was running normally until I noticed that there was a falling object.

The fallen object wasn't visible to me until the car in front passed it.

From "911 feels good after all" to "Well, the car in front suddenly brakes?" ... It's really a few seconds until "Wow, something has fallen!"

Of course, the moment the car in front suddenly braked, I also braked, and the moment I saw a falling object, I added a hazard and slowed down further.

Probably the moment I was able to push the hazard most quickly in my black carrera life. The stupid power of the fire place, or rather the hazard quick push power in an emergency (laughs).

You have to slow down while trying not to brake too hard, so when you apply hazards and brakes, you can see the rear-view mirror and stop the car behind you in time! I had no choice but to hope.

After decelerating, I slowly moved to the right side and managed to pass through without touching the dropped object.

Fortunately, the people behind me also braked in time and avoided falling objects without colliding. it was good.

Given the situation, was it just dropped?

The fallen object seemed to be soft (it looks like a cloth rolled up?), But I think it would have been difficult if I touched it or got on it at the speed of running normally, so for the time being, everything I'm glad I was able to pass by.

And I remembered that the phone number to report when I found such a fallen object was "# 9910", which is the same number as the 991 type of black carrera, but in reality I couldn't call.

I have to report! I thought, even though I connected my smartphone to the car with Bluetooth, it was difficult to make a call (= press the number) while running at high speed unlike receiving an incoming call. After passing by, I was wondering, "Is it okay for (people) behind me?" Or "Oh, I was thrilled." I can't explain it anymore because it has become "Where is the place where the car has fallen?"

I'm not a person who can't use it at all! I regret that I am useless.

Even if it's not a fallen object that's so big and has fallen into a place where it's hit if you don't avoid it, I feel like I've come across smaller ones more often these days.

You have to be careful ... Rather, you have to be more careful not to drop the luggage if you carry luggage that may fall.

I was scared.
