Was driving home from work. Going 60mph down hwy 31 when a van pulled out in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, i flew close to the windshield as i saw my van get dangerously close to the back of their van. Turned my steering wheel right to avoid the hit and swerved into the right lane where the other cars were. I felt like my van was gonna flip so i turned the wheel left to try to straighten out n get back into the left lane. If i hadnt of been wearin my seat belt i would of flown through my windshield. If u see that u have a red light n cars are goin 60mph during their green light, why would u pull out? And the fked up thing was they were on their way home. Like okay so i almost died, almost totalled my car and almost endangered other drivers while avoiding impacting your car, all cuz u wanted to get home? Like yea i wanna die some day but not like that, and not by some morons idiot decision and def not when im intending to see marilyn manson tomorrow nite. Smdh i hate driving, and i hate other drivers.

I am thankful you put together that skilled evasive action!!
Ellen I empathize.
I hate feeling like somebody almost wrecked my car and almost injured me. Something like this happens several times a year to me as well. That sort of behavior has been going on for decades and it will be with us for as long humans stay behind the wheel.
I am one of those “slow drivers” that goes at the speed limit or a bit less just so I have more reaction time and less stopping distance to worry about when somebody does this to me.
I saw a man die in a car accident. Drove by right after it happened. Although it was an empty road. He hit the barrier and flipped his van. No one else was around but there he and I and the paramedics were. I had also heard of a kid on meth drove off a bridge landed on an old man’s car and vehicularly man slaughtered him. I like to think he was driving home to his wife thinking of what to cook for dinner. I drove by as a rather large woman on a motorcycle was hit or crashed while pulling out of a neighborhood. Not even on a main road yet. Don’t know to whose fault the accident was. Come to find she lost her legs. Now I have been in minor car accidents a few rear ends. Some have been my fault. Once I skid on snow and broke the car but never an injury. Some guy had to go to hospital he say when I lightly bumped him he hurt his neck SOOO bad. Another woman I tapped light as feather got a lil dirt on her sedan. “Oh I just got this fixed from a rear end! Better call the cops.”
Excuse me ma’am but there is no damage just a little dirt from my license plate. No damage whatsoever. Are you seeing clearly today. Smoking something? A little dirt and a cop is summoned.
Boo.
Anyway I was almost hit in the manner you depict I did not fear flipping but did luckily switch lanes. I took the license but never reported. I feel when I report something nothing much comes of it. I make sure to take license though.
Sorry to hear that but I’m glad you’re ok. Some people shouldn’t be driving as it is a privilege granted to some people and if you mess up you get that privilege taken away. Driving is a huge responsibility and you can take someone’s life but most people don’t care about that, they text,eat and do other sh*t except pay attention to their driving, hell I once saw a guy weaving in an out the lane and I pulled up alongside him to see if he was ok and he was getting a blowjob! lol. I’ve been in plenty of situations were I avoided plenty of accidents.Its almost like you have to drive for everyone around you, like if everyone is out to kill you. Be safe out there
