    I did not share this earlier, but on Tuesday I was making my normal commute when I was hit in the intersection while making a protected left turn. The other driver ran the red. Fortunately, I'm just a bit sore and we'll see if my car can be repaired or not.

    Two good samaritans stopped to check on me. They both were rushed for work and didn't stick around for the cops but promised to send their dash cam footage and contact info. Fortunately, both followed through. I can't quit watching it. If I was a split second earlier into my turn, my one year old may not know her dad.

    Just a reminder to hold your loved ones tight and do not take things for granted. I lost my father to a drunk driver over 20 years ago. No one has a guarantee on tomorrow.

      Dang, dude.  I'm so glad you are OK.  And it's so true to never take life for granted.

      I have seen and heard this story more over the last year than ever. I have been in like 10 close calls recently, just had one last evening when a car decided to pull right in front of me without looking and we were a piece of paper away from hitting each other if I was not paying attention. I just lost a cousin the week before Christmas who was hit by a distracted driver. Be safe out there, try to avoid looking at our phones as I try not to myself but I look around as I am driving and at stoplights and can't believe how many people are holding their phones and typing on them, or talking on them and not paying attention to the road. A friend of mine just posted their son got rear ended because of a distracted driver. Put him in the hospital, he was only half a mile away from getting home.

      I agree it seems worse these days..a LOT of aggressive driving out there.  I hope your friend's son recovers quickly!

      I got myself a new car recently just to make sure I have the latest safety doo-dads.  And it does help!  The car will brake/steer if it senses something bad is about to happen.  I figured at my age, I need all the help I can get.  Not that I look at my phone or anything else while driving. 

      Anyway, take care everyone.  Even close calls like @Sabertooth had take a toll with potential PTSD or nightmares.
