So, The closest I have come to dying yet happened today. I was heading down capital landing road south bound. Traffic was non existent. As I approached parkway dr a car approached the stop sign on parkway facing west. The sun was behind her and I was lit up plus wearing white. She could have gone before I got to the intersection and would have had time but she didn’t. Instead she waits til i’ve started crossing to gun her engine and come right at me. I was in spinning at a very high cadence and had no acceleration. My brain did the squirel dance. I didn’t know if I should go backwards or forwards. I was concerned maybe she didn’t see me and when she did she would swerve. Well a second later she is stairing right into my eyes and keeps coming. She never slowed, never made any attempt to avoid me. I think she missed my rear wheel by less than a foot.

What the duck is going on with drivers. Do they not realize they will go to jail if they intentionally kill someone?
