Near miss car accident

Wow, no idea where that vehicle came from.
This morning whilst pulling out of my driveway, after looking both ways, I very narrowly missed driving into the side of a large SUV.
Was not there when I looked left but I stopped less than a foot from the vehicle which just went on it's merry way at a speed well above a suburban road speed limit.
Would have been a great way to start the morning, exchanging insurance details, having to have my vehicle repaired...

Glad you are okay and that it wasn't an actual accident!

Near misses are just as nerve wracking as crashes.
The only difference being no monetary aspects involved.

Good thing you are ok!

Yes, they are. I'd only had my latest car for about a week when I pulled out in front of another car. It is a fastback rather than my previous sedan and my sightline was limited out the passenger side. All of a sudden I heard a horn and saw another car swerving to miss me. It was harrowing. It was totally my fault and I just kept thinking "what if he'd hit me?"
