Near death experiences

Have you ever had any near death experiences on the road? I'll share my most recent one

>driving to pick mum up from a wine party at her friend's
>it's already getting dark
>on the way home i forget to exit the motorway in time
>have to exit next chance i get
>end up on some unfamiliar forest road
>it's so dark
>absolutely NO lights anywhere but my own
>stop at an intersection at some point
>make sure it's safe to go and i drive straight ahead
>see two bright white lights right in front of me
>"wait wh-"
>tires screeching
>i stop
>face to face with another car
>sudden adrenaline rush and i put on reverse and back up fucking all the way back to the intersection
>get to the centre of the crossroads
>see pic related in front of me
>face red, i take the road on the right which i didn't see before
>want to speed as fast as i can to get away from there
>get home
>pour myself a glass of water, hands shaking
>write greentext story about it on Veeky Forums to cope

I've never had any and I frequently drive 30mph over the speed limit at night on the way home from college. Just gotta know what's safe and what isn't.

Short one:
>Left Amsterdam 2 or 3 hours ago in my 800kg shitbox
>23:30 or something
>Two friends and two carpoolers in car
>Going 130km/h on highway, left lane, relatively close to the guardrail
>Pass truck who's driving on the very edge of his lane, close to mine
>Air displacement push me to the left, even closer to guardrail
>Can feel the hubcap touching the guardrail
>Have a microsecond of panic attack, accelerate and swerve a little bit to the right
>Nervously look around
>Everyone asleep
That was fucking close.

>right turnoff in pic related
>exit lane starts earlier and becomes right turnoff lane
>left turnoff lane starts immediately
>slower BMW (yellow) in exit lane, figure I (blue) can cruise by him him still on the old highway and then take the left turnoff lane
>right as the turnoff starts the BMW suddenly changes into the left turnoff lane without indicating for no reason
>can barely evade him and rip the car around without hitting the median and getting launched into the air either by a guardrail or by a small hill
Literally could've ended that day in a casket because of a BMW changing lanes in a turnoff section for no reason without indicating.

>be me this winter
>cabin fever
>pouring rain
>fuck it, let's go drive and do some speed runs
>80mph in a 40
>turn ahead
>slow to 70
>understeer begins
>brakes brakes brakes straighten straighten straighten
>barely manage to recover before hitting a tree
Not my best moment.

That's fucking infuriating man. Fuck that BMW.

>80mph in a 40
I mean, you kinda had it coming. They put the speed limits there for a reason. Still glad you didn't crash that day user

This sounds precisely like my worst nightmare. Holy fuck. Glad you made it out okay

>This sounds precisely like my worst nightmare. Holy fuck. Glad you made it out okay

Thanks user.
I made the mistake of driving while being exhausted, one of my friend snores like a jackhammer.
Should've stopped for an energy drink, sleepiness is no joke at the wheel.

>4am
>sitting at redlight
>light turns green
>go
>see speeding headlights in corner of eye, headed in my direction
>smash brakes
>pickup truck misses my front bumper by 2-3 feet
>would have hit my drivers side at 60+ mph
>fucker was blowing redlights at 60+ mph in a 35
>pull over and call 911 to report him

>BMW driver fails to indicate a turn

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

>be me
>be riding home after a long day in the city
>riding down this country lane, trees hemming me in on both sides so almost all the corners are blind
>come around this 90 degree left hander at 50mph
>suddenly cow, cow on the road
>BRAKEBRAKEBRAKEBRAKE.jpg
>pull up well in time, idle slowly towards the cow
>cow gives no fucks
>slowly he moves to the side after what seems like forever
>make my way past him and continue on with my journey

>be me
>be riding out in some farmland
>come down the hill to this single lane causeway bridge thing
>there's a crest on the other side, followed by a 75 degree left hander
>it's dry, figure I'll be able to do the corner at 35-40mph without pushing it
>zoom down the hill, over the bridge and back up the other side
>road dips down again to reveal a stretch of gravel leading the corner entry to just before the apex right at the last second
>not signposted, no real indication it was there
>keep in mind I'm doing probably 45mph
>and I'm not riding a dirt bike
>have already committed to the corner
>sheeeit.wav
>try and stand the bike up without going off course too much, can feel the front wheel wash out a bit
>before she goes completely the tarmac starts and she grips up again
>tip it back in and finish the corner

And that is why you always leave a margin for error unless you know 100% the road is clear.
