Close call of the night.
Mar. 15th, 2005 01:05 amSo, as I was barrelling down the 101 towards the 110, some guy decided that he liked me so much, that he wanted to share lanes with me. While on the transition to the southbound 110. Next to the wall.
He flipped on his blinker, and just started coming over without looking. Mind you, I had a half a car length on him. And he kept coming...I started to veer to the left--
Time slowed down. I looked to the left of me--The transition divider was quickly approaching, but there was still a gap. I looked to the right. The guy was turning into me at a 45 degree angle to my car, and coming to a complete stop.
I toe-heeled it--gas, turn, break, turn, gas and swooped around to the clear with only a little space between myself and the other car, and my door and the wall. I looked in my rear view mirror, as several others swerved to avoid him as he pulled across to the 5 north from a dead stop.
The caffine had worn off, but I was damn sure awake.
