Ulog #19: C'est La Vie!

in #steemitachievers6 years ago

Here is a story I was told a little while back, which I thought of thanks to le @mermaidvampire and this post

She was talking about hardships and how "that's life" and I replied with "C'est la vie", the French equivalent, commonly used in the UK!

The story starts with my dad (in his 20's/a while back) and his mate going on holiday in a caravan.
They were cruising down a motorway (largest type of road in the UK, like a highway, where the speed limit is 70MPH)
So they are travelling at around 70, and the bike is doing about the same.
I don't know why, but they had to break suddenly, and the biker flew into the caravan, damaging the caravan (and himself) in the process.
My dad and his friends heard the commotion and went around the back to see what had happened.
(The biker was French)
They found the biker (alive) in the caravan and he very calmly exclaimed: "C'est la vie!".
Turns out the biker had broken both legs and an arm during the collision.
They rushed him to the hospital (which is free in the UK :))
He was fine and they became friends, but due to this being a while back, they have lost contact!
The biker was on good terms with them! What a great spirited guy!

I would also like to thank @mermaidvampire for her awesome contests! I have won one and it only took me a minute to enter!

Thanks for the inspiration @mermaidvampire and hope that this cheers some other steemians up!

Remember:
A biker crashes into the back of a caravan every 10 minutes in the UK!
That's just a statistic I made up :)

C'est la vie should be our battle cry from now on. Their story is ulog worthy. May we find more humans like him but of course, not through some collisions like that. lol

Oh, well, I would have suggested waiting 10 minutes! Hahahaha!
