Everyguy over 35 has had a close call in a car. I post this only so the guys 18-24 (or so) realize your close call may be coming. Respect proper driving rules and you will get by.
As a pizza delivery guy, I knew, if I didnt look left EVERY time (stopped at intersections before starting out) I could have probs. One day, (actually prob more than one day) it did indeed save me. I did not dart altho somehow I wanted to.. I mentally wanted to.. and a fucken semi flew by.
Sometimes in weird situations parked cars may block vision or the perfect "wrong situation" you just happen to be in.
The keyword is being "deliberate" in all moves. Do everthing slow and easy and you will come home. Never hurry, never speed, never get impatient, never dart, never make sudden moves.
I speak from experience. I successfully delivered 30,000+ pizzas in city traffic. I also used to drag race on the street as a teen all the time. We all have some daredevil in us. As a teen your odds are good. At 34 they are not.
You can fuck around in cars but the longer you go the more your day approaches. Respect them now so you make it through that day.
Deliberate.
