Me too. When I was 16 driving to school one of the hot chicks on campus was wearing the typical tight mini skirt of the era. I was watching her anatomy and not the car in front of me that stopped at the red light,
what was he thinking!
A few years later in 1978 I made the stupid assumption that the other driver was actually going to stop at the 4 way stop sign. She decided to not pay attention to stop signs that day and she hit me. No injuries in either accident. I have not had any tickets or accidents since then.
I can't count how many times I have been able to avoid other idiots. I had one lady look right at me and then pull right out in front of me. I think she wanted to be hit by a Porsche. I knew I could not stop in time but I could turn into where she pulled out. I did a full 4 wheel drift to avoid her and she just drove off. That is one reason I don't carry a gun, I would have shot her and I would have gone to jail even though she deserved to be shot.
