Escape from blind hairpin bend!!!

Huhh......

I was driving Red Ford Icon, JKO2 ****, on the way to McLodgeGang(HP). While driving I asked my cousin to pass me some nice CDs. I have not heard so crystal clear and punchy sound except in BOSE showroom Delhi... I was so engrossed in the music as it was driving me really crazy and my right foot was compressing the accelerator hard. Totally hilly terrain, my cousin was talking some shyts. I was not even lending my ears to his talks, I don't know where my mind was, and i crossed one narrow , long, woody bridge in fraction and after crossing I slowed down a bit , saw the speedometer reading it was 95KM/hr. It suddenly occurred to me that must have crossed that bridge with more than 100km/hr. I prepared my mind that I wont exceed more than 60Km/hr then . But that music system really taking my breaths away, and I was loosing control over my right foot. While my cousin was blabbering something and very few words entered into my brain and my brain recognized those words as "DEATH"...... I don’t know what had happened to me, I was thinking "what happens if I take this car into deep gorge?" this thought kept on revolving around my brain for few mins. I was unable to see, unable to hear anything.... Totally senseless and was holding wheel of LIFE at that time... I don’t know if I would have turned steering wheel even some cms to left, I would have not got the chance to write this post........ It never ever happened to me except that day, I have been driving 4 wheeler since my 6th std, and even that road was very familiar to me , sixth time I was plying on that road....... The only thing I witnessed and my cousin claimed " My face has gone red and I was kept on accelerating the car, and he was constantly screaming over me slow down , slow down, but I did not ….. I got vision only when a blind hair pin bend came to my way and me fool was overtaking a load career there.... Immediately I accelerated and stopped the car... When I turned to my left and saw my cousin face, he was almost horripilate…... And he was asking me what had happened to me, I told him myself don’t know, as I haven't got any clue what’s wrong from the past 10 min.... When I told him that I am driving blindly from the past few min, he got raised from his seat and asked me to leave the driver seat.... I came out of the car, and was narrating him about my situation..... He offered me water and we both sat on a rock, and he kept on asking me what’s wrong with me.... I don’t have any answer, all I can recollect that after "what happens if I take this car into deep gorge?” thought I got vision only when I was overtaking.... I am still trying to figure out what had happened to me on that day....
But in vain....... Sorry guys no answer......
