CLOSEST TO AN ACCIDENT!

Today I was driving on a 4 lane road. Two going forward, two coming towards my direction.. anyways..
I was in the inner lane.. just driving normal speed...

I noticed a Civic was trying to turn in from a side road... whatevers right? My right of way.. .driving normally..
The Civic came into my lane right when I came in front of the Civic. I braked the hardest I have ever braked.. and swerved to the left to dodge the car... REALLY F**KING CLOSE! It was some 16 yr old caucasian bitch... (AND NO! SHE WAS NOT CUTE, since I know people are going to ask). I CAN"T BELIEVE MY BABY WAS ABOUT TO BE HIT HARD TODAY... Just thinking about it makes me wanna [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]!

Anyways, I was surprised how pissed I was... honked a couple of times, drove up next to her and try to yell at her through the window... she ignored and drove faster.. I went behind her and high beamed her like mad.. until she made a right.

Damn KIDS! But ... wait a minute.. I'm a kid too.. SO.. DAMN BAD DRIVERS!

oh yiah, and the closest that i had ever got into an accident was at The Block in orange. I was cruisin down St. College(street) and the streets were slick cuz it had rain earlier. There was a truck cruisin along beside me, we were goin bout 40, and we mid-way pass an intersection when this idiot she-male(couldnt' tell who or WHAT it was) turn directly in front of me! I slammed on the brakes and i hear my tires just slide across the pavement. that was the only thing i can do cuz the truck was next to me. I barely missed the she-male by 2ft...2ft might seem like a "o that was a close one" kind of reaction...but when ur going 40-10 in like 1.2345sec (Exaggerating ) that is damn close!! The driver in the truck was so cool...I think he saw what had happend and he flashed his emergencies and the passenger of the truck yelled "get behind us!!" so i did..and right when i was behind them he swerved right infront of the ******* and we both took off!! that guy was cool

what you described was how my father ended up getting killed.

if someone did that to me, id just follow them till they stopped, beat the crap outta everyone in the car, shoot the driver a couple times with my pellet gun, and take his keys/call my friends to take my car home while i steal this kids.

you wanna know why the youth think they are all hot **** nowadays? its cause their parents are failures.

read this article, its hilarious, but if you think about it, it makes sense.
beat your kid

I've come to the conclusion people in blue Ford Rangers have it out for me. I've had the same thing that happened to you happen to me twice by a blue Ranger. I almost got hit while getting out of my car in an EMPTY (in the back half) parking lot at the mall by a blue Ranger. Then while I was coming home from school one day, some woman in a blue Ranger (what a suprise) pulls from the opposite lane into my lane and I stopped with my bumper about 6 inches away from her car. I made sure she knew I wasn't happy. For at least thirty minutes, I stayed next to her (it changed from a 2 lane to a 4 lane road) and kept my middle finger up.

There are bad drivers in all age categories, but teenagers tend to be the worst. I do my best to be a good driver though, my friends on the other hand can't figure a damn thing out.

I've had a few near misses in my time too. I've been driving for about 6 years now, (22 now). I find the worse driver I have ever seen happens to be my dad. He's absolutely crazy on the road, give no care for other drivers. He tail-gates, NEVER signals, talks on cell phone and drives while drinking coffee at the same time....it's soo insane.

He's the worse kind of driver out there!!

Yeah the majority of close calls I have had so far have been from stupid teenage girls around here in crap cars. Then they just look at ya and are like huh whats your problem its like better watch your [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] because you may not be that lucky next time. Yeah I hate drivers around here, still better then when I was going to school in Phoenix those people are way worse on the roads hehe

I wish people had to take tests before they buy specific cars!!

In my neighborhood there are a lot of people who have AMAZING cars, yet drive them like sh*t!!!

I've had to overtake soo many old ladies who drive corvettes at 50 in a 70km/hr zone!!!

The worst ever was seeing a ferrari on the highway going between 80 and 90km/hr in a 100 zone, while sitting in the fast lane!!!!

For those wondering, most people drive about 120 in the fast lane here. Felt like getting out and beating the old bag and taking her car.

YOU CAN'T DRIVE AS IF YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON ON THE ROAD!!! YOU'LL BE KILLED!

last week, i was turning left in an intersection. I waited for the yellow light to turn. A car in the opposite lane ran the yellow. I saw it in the last second and stop but still get hit.

so plz make sure the opposite lane stop when u are turning left and please dont try to run yellow if u can stop.

i learn my lesson

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] I'll agree.. People should really learn how to drive before they get behind the wheel.

This was back in my old car, a 2000 Cavaliar, I'm kinda glad I don't have that car anymore..
I was cruising down the right hand lane of a 2 land road when a guy in a chromed chevy truck pulls out of sonic into my lane to make a left hand turn. He hesitates and decides he hand make the turn in time so just freakin' sticks out perpendicular to my lane.. I was really close when this happened and cut the wheel hard to the left to swerve to avoid the guy. Needless to say, I didn't quite make it and totaled my cavy.

Anyway, I'm enjoying my new civic!

man what i like to do i show my blinds for like a full 15 to 20 seconds that usually causes the deer in the lights effect. its rather humerous. keeps me from getting upset and also makes me feel better that im tormenting them [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] most close calls i have are with people on cellphones. i hate people who talk on cell phones.

but yeah i totaled my protege about year ago. broke my hand and had two surgeries on it since. months of phytherapy. almost lost my girl. it was some bullshit. neglegent driver, who ran a red light. he was medicar with like 9 passengers in the van.
