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.

Yep. A corvette late at night. Racing to make a light change, hit the brakes at what had to have been 90+ mph. Spun around in 2 times in the middle of a 6x6 major intersection until it hit one of the curbs and landed with a thud on the neutral part, between opposite lanes.

I fully expected the driver and companion to get out the car, fall on their knees, lift their hands towards heaven and thank God that they didn't go inverted, or hit one of the street lights, or another car. They instead stepped on the accelerator, kicking up the flower beds in the neutral ground and sped away at full throttle.

@Heartlander They may have been street racing. Where I am you'll hear it A LOT at night.

@latinbutterfly Yes, here too. Mostly motor cycles though. Too fast for even the police to pursue.
