View Full Version : Dodging cars on the highway!

I was raining really bad and I usually don't drive to school. But becuase it was raining I decided to drive. My first class was at 8AM in the morning so I went. After I got done with my three classes for the day I recieved a call from my older brother telling me I'm an uncle:eek: . I told him I'll be at the hospital ASAP. Little did I know I wouldn't make it there:mad: .

I'm I-75North and I'm driving in the third lane from the right. (Defensive driving class taught me that lane is the least likely to get in an accident.) I going with the flow of traffic. Listening my music cruizing in third gear. Right as I hit fourth. I feel a little bump on the right side of my lude and the car fish-tailed a little:eek: . While the fish tailing was accuring I gradually geared down to third and the car starts to hydro-plain going to the left. I didn't want to hit that nice BMW so I gently steer away. It starts drifting to the right...... I see a big 18 wheeler in the very right lane but my next concern was the camery that bumped into me the first time he was right next to me so I steer away from him. The big problem was that I jerked the steering a little too hard and then I'm about to loose control and steer way from another car on my left then all of a sudden I feel the back just left from right under me. I I spun around about 220 degrees going straight for the wall. OMG I thought I was gonna die! I turn the steering to the left and I got the car perallel to the wall I was rolling backwards. I took a deep breath and decided that I'm going to try to wip it around and stop this baby. What I didn't see in my rear view mirror while going backwards what that under the bridge the wall curves out a little. So right as I'm about to wip it around I hear a loud pop:eek: ! Then I see my check engine light, battery light, ATTS light, SRS light... all the lights on the dash. The car has now stalled and its rolling back into traffic. The big 18 wheeler stopped but another camery (different from the one that started the chain of events) hit me in the driver side. I saw the camery coming and I jump out of the driver seat and went in the back seat so I didn't get injured. Then I jumped out the car. Felt if I had any broken bones and see if I had any cuts. I was flawless. I fell on my knees in the middle of the highway and started to thank God for protecting me. The I-witnesses said I held traffic up for at least 10 minutes while I was praying. I am so blessed you guys.

It didn't cost much to fix the lude. It was under $2000. I bought a whole new rear suspension. and fixed the rear panal. I pocketed the rest. :p

God is good.......

it happened about 2 years ago. I made a deal with a judge (Judge Jackson) and in order for me get a speeding charge dropped off my record to keep it clean I had to do several activities. Defensive driving was one. I was doing a buck 20 on 75 going home to my apartment. I was surprise they didn't take me to jail that night. The good days lol

I'm not quite to the point I can do that yet... I guess the fact that I had someone with me and they coulda been severely hurt or killed kinda sticks with me. I couldnt live with the karma of someone's death on me :/

Damn that is a close call. You jumped in the back seat?!? I don't know how that saved you (probably some "divine interferance" like you said.. lol).. I always thought staying buckled up was best. Anyway, very creative.. glad you made it out alright!

thanks... think about it.... when people stay in the seat wearing there seat belt and get t-boned, there is a good chance that they might end up parallized (sp). I didn't want to take that full blow directly so I went the furthest away a could which was the back seat. I saw it in slow motion and I had plenty of time to react to that. FYI Seat belts also kill, they don't just save lives. Sometimes they take them too. I hope that made sense to you:) .

I hit a telephone pole going 85 mph, dead on... Some ass monkey truck cut me off on the highway and I tried to pass only to lose control and go into a pole, my friend eddie and I hit it dead on. we came out with nothing but a scratch from the seatbelts that I didnt even know worked stupid automatic ones on my 92 integra gsr. well the car is deader than dead, but my friend and I had nothing but a scratch. The eye witnessess were 150% sure we were dead. They told us it was a miracle we're alive let alone in perfect shape. ever since I drive like 5 below the speed limit haha. NO tickets, insurance actually only went up like 6$ or something a month and I got KBB value for my car (which was like 4k)

I got run in the ditch today by some crazy ass woman, I don't mean she pulled in the road and jumped back over, she just completely ran me off and kept going at 35 mph. It's a good thing I do a good bit of off road driving in the Lude. Once I got back back on the road and gathered myself back up, I caught back up to her and scared the **** out of her. I came flying up, 105 mph straight for her ass and went out around her, riding the horn. Luckily she didn't hit the brakes when I was coming, at least she wasn't THAT stupid. One of my friends already rear ended someone today...everyone was ok thankfully.

Did I mention the janitor almost ran into my car with his truck the other day? He just smiled, waved, and kept going... I'm kinda wondering if I shouldn't stay off the road for a little bit. :/
