close call

[RicE-ter]

driving down a main road with 5 lanes, 2 going giong my way and 2 the other and that middle lane for left turns and stuff. i stop at a light then go coming up on an intersection with no stop for me but a stop sign for a residential road trying to cross. driving normally i aproach at alil above the speed limit ,45mph, and some a**hole in a blue minivan suddenly tries to cross. i hit the brakes and the car squirms a bit but i keep her steady. i guess after hearing me he stops in the middle of the road half blocking my lane. i probably would have stoped just short of hitting him, but since he stoped i just drove around him. well ive avoided the curse, at least for now, keep your eyes open guys/gals and keep ur cars and urselves safe.

I've found that constant engine swapping helps to avoid such sitiations
