so i was driving home and someone ran a red light when i was going throuhg the intersection at 40mph, i had to slam the brakes and almost flipped my car trying to avoid a disastrous t-boning. they started yelling at me and then someone in a truck told me "god saved my life" and confirmed it wasn' teven remotely my fault this makes me want to start taking the bus. what are your horrible driving stories, goons?

That feeling you got, that you "almost died," has a reciprocal feeling in the ghost community. It's the precarious feeling of being "almost born."

Old lady almost murdered me by smashing into my driver's side and T-boning me, luckily she was a typical old lady and was going slow as rear end gently caress. She started wailing about how was she going to get to work and asking me "Why?" and I was like I don't know bitch why did you run a red you blind moron.

In my previous tank of a 89 bronco, slid out into a busy two way street and a truck missed my door by about two feet and nailed my rear corner, spinning me. never got hit by another car from the opposite direction, no medical side effects like whiplash or anything Driving an on off ramp in my current smaller rav4 I hit black ice and literally slid 80 degrees to my right side (where there's a frozen lagoon), a combination of my steering correction and powering the gas slid it back 180 to the right, and then I got myself back 90 degrees to my original direction on the road, all within about 10-15 seconds with a car maybe 25-50 yards behind me at about 40mph Also been shot at and brain cancer scare but those arent driving stories site fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Dec 1, 2014 |

I am glad that you are safe friend. Sounds like you were driving defensively. Always assume other drivers are dangerous retards and act accordingly, IMO

I just went home, shaken as Hell, and asked the thread to tell me to shut the gently caress up if I ever wasted my life with PT6A ever again. Of course that was months ago and I give him poo poo now so that didn't stick, but giving a loser named PT6A on somethingawful.com would have been the last communication that I ever made with anyone in my life.

a couple years ago when i was a pizza delivery boy, two teenagers on a joyride in an SUV plowed through a neighborhood intersection right in front of me, going probably about 60 miles an hour. they flew up a rise in the road, went briefly airborne, then crashed down onto the pavement, sending sparks flying everywhere. they rounded another hill out of sight and i followed them to see if they were alright. there were bits of rubber and plastic littering the road leading up to where they were sitting parked in the middle of the street. they were clearly in shock but they seemed alright. i asked them if they were ok and they stammered some bullshit about blowing a tire. i should have called 911 or somethign but it was late and i wanted to finish my delivery and go home so i just left. but if i had left the pizza shop a few seconds earlier they would have crashed right into me in my toyota corolla and i would have been either dead or seriously injured

every time you have a near death experience reality splits into two separate branches - one where you die, one where you live. your life continues on this splitting paradigm until youve run out of time. all paths will converge and death will claim you eventually my friend!

Just after high school I was riding shotgun in a 92 honda accord going about 65 mph down the highway when we were t-boned. The car rolled down the road and into the ditch. I thought I was knocked out because there was a cop there immediately. Turns out he was a few cars behind us and saw our lights flipping through the air. The car bounced off its corners as it rolled and we landed right side up so our only injuries were minor cuts from broken glass. Wear your seatbelts kids.

I've been in one real serious car accident in which I spun out if control for several seconds before going into a ditch and my first thought was "oh no there goes my insurance" not "uh oh I'm actually gonna die" dunno what that says about me really

If I didn't wear a bike helmet (like many suicidal morons don't) I would have had my brains splattered on no less than three occasions. I gave up bike commuting because I value my life.
