    I almost rear ended a car on 316 south. We were all tailgating each other...like 15 cars in both lanes. Well, I looked at a cop passing on the other side. When I looked back, the car was is full stop mode. So I slammed on the braked and swerved to the left (I was in the left lane). Which was tricky, because it was a 40 degree hill straight down. I was able to move around the car in front of me and jump back on the road...now in front of the car that was in front of me.

    Stop driving you dumb fuck! You're dangerous to the civilians on the road.

    I'd be willing to be all three of the times were all driver errors.

    I think your problem is you should have kept the Type-R. You clearly can not handly a RWD car.

    been there. This one guy almost hit me head on trying to pass a car around a turn in front of my neighborhood. slammed the brakes, locked up the front pass tire left a 20ft skid mark, and almost hit a mailbox.

    the fucker just gets back into his lane and keeps going.

    If he wasn't gonna hit me head on i would've taken the insurance $$.

    Save ur engines!

    some faggot in a minivan on 85 coming up from the airport decided to switch lanes in the far left lane without looking. needless to say, he swerved back into left lane, braking while doing so...i had to go off onto the shoulder because he was braking so hard...2 cars behind me did the same.

    That's what happens when people like your car. In my Mustang, I could see people look in their mirrors at the car and start drifting over. So I had to honk which made me look like a dick, but whatever. No dents FTW...But I had 1. :'(

    Some asshole pulled out in front of me and I almost T-boned him. Apparently if you are on your cell phone, it gives you the right of way.

    I was driving really late after it rained when I was younger on this road thats has low traffic. I was going through a rough time and my mind started wondering. Well I went around this left turn going too fast and almost got the car completely sideways. I corrected myself right before the next turn. I went to a gas station and checked out my rear bumber to make sure i didn't scrape it (they're where sidewalks) and took some time to collect myself. I'm glad nobody was in the other lane and that I didn't flip it. I always pay more attention now so shit like this doesn't happen.

    Thats my only close call
