A close call that makes you think about the big picture more

I’m not perfect when it comes to driving, that’s for sure.  I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. I’ve hit deer, had an accident caused by icy conditions and probably, more than a few times, avoided a serious accident by the stroke of luck.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tried to be smarter with driving. I’d say *most* of the time, that works. Not always. But for the most part, I try to do…

So this happened last night. This is the result & it was moved here sometime last evening; Long after I’d given up caring.

Don’t know the whole story. But I watched things unfold immediately after. It looked like other Lyft drivers were gathering along the drive; Illuminated pink logos in windows in two cars I could see. One on this car too. It looked like two people were attempting to restart the disabled suv that hit this car. It sounded terminal from where I was. Others stood nearby. It did not look like there was much arguing.

Thought it weird but a couple cars left & I would presume took the occupant(s) of the suv with them, leaving the suv & Prius behind in ‘as-wrecked’ state.

Here’s the dumb thing:

The suv was parked, I assume idling, taillights lit, in the opposite direction on the other side of a very wide road. Very directly before the collision, this suv pulled a HARD U-turn & rocketed across Saruvan’s bow. Missed me by less than two feet as he continued across the bike lane & slammed into the above car. It lifted the right side of the suv high enough for the bottom of the tires to reach the already high belt line of a Prius. Then slammed it back down. Crunch…thud.

It was like a homing missile. Brakes were on the whole time. But it struck at speed. Took off & in one motion almost seemed to head ‘straight’ for the car. I was nearly involved.

I have video if the whole thing. It’s ƃuıʞɔnɟ weird as ʇıɥs.

Once I have a small enough gif generated, I’ll post it.

Edit:

Boom!

Pardon me but "Dont give me shit I have two kids who go here" isnt the proper defense for almost hitting me on the crosswalk. "The sun was in my eyes" is better, then again, you were wearing sunglasses and going over 35 so basically what im trying to say is fuck yourself.

"sarah, did you check your calendar today?" “uh, no. why?” “i was just wondering if today was national drivers who don’t know where they’re going day.” (on the dumbass lost driver in front of us on the way to target.)
