Similar thing happened to me, but I was on a motorcycle. Driving down a
local street at about 30. Headlights coming up very quickly. A quick glance
behind, cars in the parking strip, nowhere else to go but into the oncoming
traffic lane. (Luckily, no oncoming traffic) The car that roared by, going
at least 60 was driven by a woman, drunk on her a.s. Turns out she was the
mother of the girl I was dating.
We had "words" (Mom told daughter that I was "disrespectful" to which I
answered "No sh.t, I tend to get that way when almost being killed!)

I'm paranoid on the road, I look in the rear view.
Same thing at traffic lights when they're green,
I don't stop, but I keep my eyes open. I've known
people who've stated they don't because if they
get hit, "it won't be their fault!"

A number of those people are no longer with us. (Darwin's theory at it's
finest, weeding out the morons) These people are right, but they can also be
dead right, unfortunately, you're dead a long time.

...just as well it wasn't a new car then.
