I drove on my bicycle from school to home.. and i had to pass a heavy traffic roadcrossing. I was on my bicycle full speed and a few feet from the stoplight i noticed it jumped green so without hitting the brake i passed the green light.

Within a second of passing i heard someone screaming my name so as an instinct
i hit the brake and stopped 2 feet after i passed the green light. A car passed by full speed (that obviously whent through red) with only an inch between my bike and the car. The stream of the car moved my front wheel thats how close the car got.

I looked around me for the person taht just saved my life: nobody there.. was an industrial crossing so not that anybody was hiding in the bushes or screaming from a house. Really nobody there.
