We survived our first car crash..
I no sooner finished blogging about how much better the drivers were here, than we ended up having a very near miss. We were driving into Shiraz after a long delayed flight from Mashhad and caught a share taxi. Crazy driver taking chances in overtaking where there wasn't any space. At one point he tried to overtake a small truck on the inside, but the truck pretty much was driving on the separation lines and moving further over to us squeezing us up against a concrete wall on our left, at 100km per hr. Needless to say we were forced straight onto the wall as we tried to miss the fish tailing trucks back end, with the car scraping along the wall at high speed for what seemed like an eternity. Svend was quick enough to pull in his arm. Amazingly the truck and taxi just carried on and took us to our destination, where the damage was surveyed, and astonishingly there was very little to see. Wow.
