He emphasized that his intention in sharing the experience is not for drama, but to issue a direct warning to all drivers about the dangers of overconfidence behind the wheel: "I’m writing this in case someone benefits from this simple advice and stops doing it… I thought I was in control, but honestly, it’s pointless and unnecessary. Praise be to God and thanks be to God."
