Sports cars were not meant to be driven slow.<br />But with age and wisdom, I've learned not to weave in and out of traffic and generally drive like a maniac. No accidents though.

I hydroplaned, fish-tailed, cut through the median, narrowly missed a bridge pylon, and was in the oncoming traffic across the freeway going full-speed, afraid to hit the brakes because I finally had some control over the vehicle. I managed to get to the shoulder before bad things happened.<br /><br /> - EricEric W.

I glanced down for two seconds to change the radio station and in front of me, a truck slammed on his breaks. I spun out of control and it was only by sheer luck that no one in the five other lanes on that LA freeway didn't hit me. So scary!<br /><br />Glad that truck didn't hit you.

I was driving to a burglary in progress at about 2 am--no traffic on the roads.<br /><br />Seeing no one, I slowed and made a left turn onto a side street, and all the suddent there was a car in front of me. <br /><br />The driver was drunk and moving at a high rate of speed. He had run the red light and somehow missed T-boning me--I never saw him until he was driving in front of me.<br /><br />It is a bad feeling.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-54281782072858588232011-11-01T14:43:47.246+02:002011-11-01T14:43:47.246+02:00I have been reminded that I did not guess a page.....I have been reminded that I did not guess a page...so.....since I can't just say somewhere between page 1 and the end.....I will say page 115.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-68300003433976499252011-11-01T14:28:25.749+02:002011-11-01T14:28:25.749+02:00I think that is so common at 18!
