What are your close call stories?
#11
Well you dont want to know the gory detailas of the accident.Lets just say the jaws of life had to be used to cut the car away from me so I could get out and get taken to the hospital.The fact I lived when I shouldnt have makes it a close call.I know I have a gurdian angel watching over me.

Best "close call" I've had was in the winter of 2k4 in Ohio. Was driving my '81 Citation X-11 to the parts store on the first decent day after a nasty ice store. The ice was wet when the light changed in front of me. Barely touched the brakes and went into a full spin. In front of TWO big full sized trucks!! And the ice was so thick I never touched the curb. Finally came to a rest when my rear bumper glanced the fire hydrant.
Both trucks stopped & made sure I was ok and thankfully the car was unhurt. After that I took off as quick as I could as my dl was suspended at the time.

How about this for a close call
Since it warmed up here in the North country yesterday I bundled up took out my motorcycle for a ride.I have been riding for an hour or so on what back home 1 block away from my home.This lady driving a minivan turns out infront of me.No turn signal nothing and less that 10ft away from me.I going 35mph I had no time to react or hit the brakes.If I had been driving 40mph like I normaly do I would been modified into the side of her minivan.It was too close.I beleive in Angels that angel was with me yesterday again.

I was going down the road about 45 when my light turned yellow, having plenty of time i decided to go through it. The old man in the left turn lane across from me decided he wanted to go when i clearly wasn't stopping. locked up the brakes and stopped inches away from him, he was completely ablivious to me as i screeched to a stop. About 7 feet of two thick black skid marks in the intersection. Thankfully i just replaced my front brakes.
