Close Call Stories

[ekrupa2]

The winter blues have me thinking back to the summer Cobra days...which in turn reminded me of a close call I had with mine. Driving to the Woodward Dream Cruise in a caravan of three cars... Cobra ahead...then me...and a Viper behind. Driving under posted speed to the gas station prior to heading for the cruise...one lane north...one south...and a middle turn lane. We were heading south...a mid-size SUV was heading north. At full speed she must have decided she wanted to hit the strip mall on our side. Rather then putting her turn signal on and decelerating to move in the middle turn lane she cut it hard and basically cut in front of me...the SPF's brakes worked flawlessly and I had no choice but to decelerate hard in the turn lane...didn’t lock them up just stopped quick. Missed her by less than three feet. I didn’t even have time to have my life flash before my eyes. Now here is Karma at its best. Police cruiser was behind my neighbors Viper...he immediately shot into the strip mall and my neighbor advised me at the gas station the officer did stop her. We didn’t circle back but I do hope she was at least given a warning about her recklessness.

Any other close call stories out there?
