Maybe I need to stop driving for a while??

Three very, very close calls in 24 hours. Last night, it was a moose, on the highway By the time I was safely stopped, that beast was less than 2 feet from my front bumper. This morning, three deer jumped out to run across the road right in front of me. Once again, hitting my brakes to avoid hitting them....thankfully that was inside town limits, so I was only going 60 kmh. And then tonight, just 30 minutes ago, another deer, jumped in front of me...playing chicken with my front bumper.....maybe the universe is telling me something????

That would indeed make me nervous. My dad used to say that if you drive long enough, you will eventually get into an accident and get a ticket. Years ago I had a gorgeous sage green Mazda. Unfortunately, it seemed to be a stealth car. It was either almost hit or actually hit on a regular basis. I even asked the University Michigan Institute for Traffic Safety and my auto insurance carrier if they kept statistics on colors of cars involved n accidents. They laughed, but if you were in my car at the time, it was really not a laughing matter. I grinned and beared it, and got over it. I still see nut cases on the road all the time. The deer and elk are another matter. During rutting season, one does have to be extra careful!
