I just almost died...

I\'m serious, This is a serious topic that I feel like I should share with you.

I was walking my dog down by one of the local elementary schools about an hour and a half ago. I was in a dark area, with no lights or anything, and it just snowed so the roads are packed with ice. I was walking down their, and decided to cross onto ther ight side of the street. I did look both ways, but i told you it was dark, and I already took my contacts out. Yes, it was at a street corner.

Well i\'m crossing and i hear a honking noise. I turn around its car going about 60 towards me. Since their was ice, it slipped and couldn\'t stop as quick as he planned. It stopped a foot away from me. I just stood their. I\'m a bit shaky now. It really is scary. My dog just started barking and the guy just gave me the finger and drove off. I flipped it back, the only bad thing was that it was dark so i couldnt get his liscense plate.

Something like this is going to be remembered for the rest of my life....

Dude, what sucks is I almost did too:

I was driving down a street, and it was pretty crowded. I was right behind a tanker on a three lane road. The right lane cleared up, so I went into it to speed up past the tanker. Unfortunately, this POS trans am also got the same idea, but in a more wreckless manner. He took the left lane which was full, and started weaving from right to left and such. As soon as I past the tanker, I was going to get back into the middle lane, but the TA beat me to it. He was right there in my blind spot. Luckily I missed him.

Was this today?

Boy, maybe someones out to get us all....

About the incident with me; someone just called me and said "I\'m sorry" then hung up. I am even more scared now. When someon almost runs you over, doesnt even know you (i hope) then calls you and says "i\'m sorry" you really start thinking if the mafia is after you...

I think I\'ll need to see counsiling. :eek:

Here\'s mine... driving story.

It was a rainy afternoon and I was driving home from school. It was the first rain we had got in about a month, so all the oil that was sponged into the asphalt was seeping up, so the roads were EXTREMELY slippery. Almost as bad as ice.

I\'m blarin my rock music, right hand on the wheel, left hand on my crotch. I\'m doing about 55 mph, in a 45 mph zone, and all 3 of the lanes are virtually empty. I\'m starting to slow down 200 yards away at this red light, but then it turns green, so I start to accelerate back to 55 mph. And then totally and incredibly out of the blue, BAM! Its starting to turn red!

So I\'m thinking about slamming on the breaks, but I know if I were to do that then I would lose control for sure considering how slippery the roads were, so I said f*ck it, and floored it. By the time I was crossing the intersection the light had been red for about 2 seconds, and a car from my right started pulling out, and didn\'t see me coming. So in the blink of an eye, I jerked the wheel hard left, fish tailed right around him, and kept on going my merry way.

I didn\'t actually realize what had happened until 20 seconds later, I was just like, "Holy shit."

I nearly got killed by a bus when i was around 13. I was crossing the road near my school, i was walking home and just stopped in the middle of road for some odd reason. Next thing i know, a bus was going across me about 2 inches away from my nose. The mirror just missed my head, lucky i was short. I was with some mates when it happened.  Pretty scary s@#T.

I\'ve had wayyyyy too many "phew that was close" moments in my life.

K so we were at the lake and me, my two cousins  and my dad were boating with this cheap little fishing boat that had a pretty big motor on it for a fhishin boat went out on the lake and we where boating around.. my cousin was driving. he was 16 and had a lot to drink....(craxzy bastard) so we hit a huge wave and everyone fell out exceptr for my dad who was a little shaken up , but still in the boat.  So the boat starts doing donuts and passes right over my head as i was unerwater.... my dad regiands control and takes us back to shore.... later that day my cousin thorws up....

the end.

it was a commercial flight to Italy.

We were over Italian Air Space when someone spotted lights close by...the lights turnd out to be another passanger plane.

I don\'t remember it too much bacuse of my age but my focks say that the pilot has to take bank sharply to avoid a mid air collision.

I saved Juslight from an explosion once.  It was pretty intense.
