How many of you have been in a life-threatening situation when you could have sworn it would change your life entirely, but suddenly something out of the blue saved you from it? I quote from my blog:

I was cruising down a main highway, on my way to my brother's apartment. I had a gut feeling something was going to happen (and I really should have listened to it, considering I had passengers), but it went ignored. Taking a left turn onto my brother's road, I was in an intersection where the speed limit was 25 mph.

Naturally, I scanned the area, and, thinking there would be time to turn because of the speed limit, I began making my left. Well...some idiot, whom was driving at least 35 mph decided not to hit his brakes, but instead, keep driving. I hadn't realized just how close our vehicles had gotten, and if my father-riding shotgun-wouldn't had shouted my name and taken the wheel, I'd be screwed over. Thus, I would not have seen the blue car that was four inches away from my bumper and maintaining their same speed.

Heart pounding, I screamed and hit the brakes (yes, I screamed...so unlike me, but...). Encredibly grateful my foot found the brake and not the accelerator, I had stopped just in time to avoid a collision. I could have sworn in those few seconds that seemed so fast that we were going to hit each other, and that my life would be altered. (It would have been head-on with the driver's side, and I would've gotten the full blow.)
