Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

Big Fat LorryThis happened about 2 weeks ago.......
As a learner driver and after many near crashes I managed to coax my poor mum back into my car while I drove her into town. I drive an old Mini and we were just about to join a busy main road, and it was dark. After waiting for ages for a clearing(about 30 seconds) I saw my chance coming as a HUGE lorry came round the corner. Me being under experienced and VERY OVERCONFIDENT thought I could swipe in front of this massive lorry like a stunt driver from 'To fast, To Furious'.
My mum was screaming 'NO wait!' So I put my foot down and must have thought I was Colin McRea for a few seconds. With my mum screaming and this lorry obviously a lot faster than I though I panicked and ended up in the white lines in the middle and my mum shouting 'You nearly KILLED me!' the Lorry drove off as if I hadn't exsisted and I sat there shaking for a while before driving back like somone from a 'How to drive safely' Video.
I have my test in 2 weeks..... can't wait.
