On Saturday, the wife and I headed out of town to go visit some friends back in my hometown.  A little warm, but once we got going, it was a great day to have the top down in the Vette.

Glad it was only a scare. It's also nice to know the other driver handled the situation as well as you did.

I've had  a close call (we'll ignore the wrecks as a teenager...). I was sitting at a stoplight, waiting to turn left on a divided 4 lane highway. A carr on the the far side was waiting to turn left into my road. He proceeded to start his turn, and I hear tires screeching. I look to my left and see a car sliding. Look straight ahead and see a car in the middle of the road - then I see said sliding car hit the turing car in the passenger front fender/door area. The turning car then gets spun around and starts sliding towards my car. All I can do is sit there and watch. The car comes to rest a few feet from my car. Too close for me.....Btw, this wasn't in the vette, but still scary.

Did you guys empty your pants after the close calls? WOW!

Seems nearly every time I take the Corvette out of the garage, some idiot comes way too close to hitting me.  Had a few close calls in the Corvette.  Seems classic old Corvettes are just another Honda Accord to 99% of the drivers on the road.

I went to traffic school once had a great time and only took one item out of it.  Most accidences occur in the fast lane or slow lane.  Fatalities occur in the fast lane.

 

Three friend of mine and I were driving to a computer swap meet on a Sunday morning in Los Angeles.  I was in my Fleetwood in the fast lane driving north. The freeway is straight but goes up and down. 

 

Something brought into my mind what I learned in traffic school so I just move into the next to fast lane.  Within fifty yards of doing that at 75 miles per hour (Standard SoCal minimum speed limit),  A car pasted me in the fast lane driven by an Older man.  Problem was he was going the wrong direction. 

 

If I had not moved I we would have hit as I was unable to see him until we both crested the raise in the road.

 

God wanted me around for some reason.  Have not figure it out yet but he did.

Thank goodness that your wife saw the movement of the other car.  I'm not sure exactly what takes over in those split seconds,  but all your moves were in the right direction.  I suspect that the other driver will watch cross traffic flow and signals alot closer. 

Glad you and the Misses came out fine Marshal....!!!

Yeah I have have had a few "scares" over the years.... and I am not too proud to say I have given a few as well. Luckily for all it wasn't my or their time yet.

Good thing cause I ain't ready to go jest yet!!!

Glad to here you did not have a worse condition to tell us about. I had a truck change lanes right while I was in the lane, good thing there was an open lane for me to dodge into or I would have been road kill. I was traveling on the nice new bridge they made on the I-280 in Toledo Ohio.
