close calls

[eastcoastS14]

so I just got to work after being stuck in traffic for a while and almost wrecking my car. When I first got onto the highway I was cruising but people drive like assholes and went flying by me on both sides. I hate when this happens so I started driving faster and passed everyone who just passed me. From the next lane over a crown Vic gets right behind me and stays pretty close. So Im thinkin "awsome probably an unmarked police car." I keep looking back at him and he finally gets outta my lane. This whole time I was right behind an 18wheeler cruising pretty good but not wanting to get into a faster lane with the "potential cop" behind me. So as I look where the "cop" is goin I turn back after he disappears to see brake lights of an 18wheeler directly in front of me. I jam on mhy brakes HARD, screeching tire smoke the whole deal. Theres a metal piece that houses the directionals on the back of the truck and it was right at bumper level....my car would have been fucked...luckily I looked at the last second and saved my ass....

So anyone else have stories like this where you narrowly escaped wrecking your car and owning ur self? Im bored at work and figured Id share so give me somethin to read
