Well, probably, for most of us, driving or riding in a vehicle is probably the most dangerous situation.

But there have been a few. My brother and I got his Honda civic stuck in the sand at a wildlife preserve. I’d already fainted from the heat once and he decided to go for help, while I waited in the wildlife preserve for his return.

In college, one of the girls in my dorm dated a felonious lunatic and I spent a very long hour in my living room with the couple, afraid to run and afraid to stay. A couple of years later, he was gunned down by police on the hospital steps.

But the most dangerous was when I was sixteen and a new guy moved into the community. He was 20 and I was a sheltered 16 and no match for him. I was furious when they refused to let me date him. I introduced him to my best friend. She got pregnant, they got married and he isolated and abused her viciously. She finally ran away to a distant state and was found less than two years later hanging from a light fixture in her new apartment that she raved happily about in a letter. He was never charged, but I am sure he killed her.

@Mamapolo2016 You definitely dodged a bullet at 16 !!
@Teslin Yes, I did - or my parents dodged it for me. And I had confidence that if they HAD said yes to the date, my family would have moved heaven and earth to rescue me. My friend’s parents were - different.

It became known that the man in question had a long record of sexual assault and battery, with an attempted murder charge. Ten years later I was watching TV…one of those shows like “Wanted” and there he was.

I called my parents to thank them again.
