Its a warm summer saturday night...
...so I decide to walk home from the pub. Being well tuned in and more than a little tired I soon find my mind wandering and I start to stumble a bit.... As I step to my right my foot drops into the road just as a car passes.... The wing mirror passing merely millimeters away from my arse.

I sober up instantly and move to the opposite side of the kerb out of harms way. It's then that I notice that I've just almost stepped out into the path of a passing police car. After a word or two and an apology from me I carry on my way. I've not walked home alone since.


Oh and not near death but relates to the 'accidentally using another person as a ramp' bmx story before... i did similar when a 5 year old on a scooter rode out in front of me. Unfortunately take off was a failure and I continued my 'stunt' minus bike. Poor kid was screaming so I fixed his scooter and took him home to his mum.
