U/LorenaR93: "On one occasion, I was at a bustling intersection, waiting to cross the street. I was standing near the edge of the sidewalk as the signal was about to change. Traffic was whizzing by, and a guy waiting to make a right turn, which is where I was standing. For no apparent reason, I was overcome with an odd sensation that I should move.

I stepped back just in time as the guy executed his turn. In doing so, he swung out wider than necessary, momentarily straddling both lanes. Suddenly, a speeding vehicle from the other lane collided with his car. The impact sent the turning car hurtling towards the exact spot on the sidewalk where I had been standing. Fortunately, both drivers were unharmed, and I experienced an intense adrenaline surge from the close call."
