If I had finished my step my brains would have been splattered all over the road.

I thanked the guy, but didn't really realize how close it was until a few minutes later, when I started shaking like crazy.
I was in Germany/austria/ switzerland (cant really remember the exact place because we toured all over there) and we were in a bus going down one fo thsoe narrow winding cobblestone roads, and as we tooka wide corner we actually RAN over a bicycle that was chained up to a post on the corner.

Didnt even stop...

As for my near death experience, I used to have a 94 Eagle Talon in High School, and after school I was running a little late for work (which was literally 6 blocks frmo my house) I ran out to my car and took off, and like 4 houses down I got into a head on with a 1977 ford 3/4 ton.

For some reason that was the first time I ever put my seatbelt on without someone telling me too.

Totalled my car off, I went home called work, and then just sat there and looked out the window at my totalled car and just shaked
