I have seen a lot of near misses. One time There was a car in front of me slowing to turn off, They turned on the turn signal for a right turn and then turned left. Another time, I was going down the highway at 55 miles per hour and noticed an old pickup truck over to my right on a side road coming up to the highway to a stop sign, you guessed it. He didn't even slow down. He went right across the road in front of me. Lucky for me I had time to slow enough to not hit him. It's times like that, that make you wonder why you do this for aliving. I've seen a car coming right at me on my side of the road then at the last minute he looks up and sees you and jerks it back on his side of the road. Talk about heart stopping. You just have to allways have your eyes on the road and the other guy. I know somebody who wrecked a good car because he was adjusting his radio and not watching where he was going. He drove it right off a bridge into the water.
