Recent panic attack!

So this happened to me yesterday.

I was driving home from work and as usual, shitty traffic. Normally I would come into heavy traffic near the the first toll I pass. While I was in the car, flipping through my phone, waiting for the car to move, inch by inch, the red light, signally my car is over heat, lit up.

Panic.

However, this had happened before. So I immediately turned off the air-condition and rolled the window down. I waited for 5 minutes for the red light to turn off. But it didn't. After 15 minutes its still there. 

Shit!

And whats not helping is the traffic. Cars were literally bumper to bumper. 

What do I do? Theres no place to park the car. I was on a freaking bridge. There were no side lanes.  

I didn't know what to do. I kept on driving, praying that my car won't blast off. The red lights keep going on and off and on and off. I knew I was driving recklessly. And driving in that condition was dangerous. But seriously, I had now idea what to do. I was stuck in the middle of the road with no where to stop.

Thank god the traffic was moving a bit faster afterwards. And I managed to reach home safely. 

I had my dad checked on the car and showed me what to do if this ever happens to me again. Thank god for my dad. Always there to rescue me.

Moral is, I should get myself a boyfriend to help me on times like this.
