Have you ever observed a near accident that made you cringe?

Saw two vehicles trying to beat a red light on the way to work. One was turning left, the other was attempting to make it through the intersection. Both of them just barely stopped in time.

I’ve witnessed a few actual accidents, but one weekend when the streets were fairly deserted, I was headed to the store and this older teenager was walking in the street. I don’t know why I bothered, but I said, "be careful, people drive crazy around here."
The kid flipped me off. I shrugged, kept going.

A driver came around the corner, hit the boy and kept going. I ran over to him, he insisted that he wasn’t hurt, that the car had just bumped him. I offered to call someone for him, he insisted that it wasn’t necessary, and [b]no[/b], he didn’t want the police called. I helped him up and he went into one of the stores—after thanking me for coming to see about him and apologizing for the hand gesture.
