Hopefully you’re home changing your underwear and realizing what a poor life choice it was to cross a 4 lane 45mph road, nowhere near a light or signal, in the dark, in a torrential rain while wearing dark clothing. I say “person” because by the time I saw you 20 feet from my bumper my brain made the millisecond process priority decision to allocate all it’s resources to swerving and had nothing left to determine your age, race or gender. Basically you became a 4 to 6 foot obstacle in my mind’s consciousness. If you’re reading this, send a donation to WNY SCCA because 8 years in their autocross program is probably the only reason you’re not a greasy spot on the pavement.

A: To try not to make it to the other side

North of UB North, just past North Forest. I don’t get rattled behind the wheel very easy anymore but my hands were shaking a bit when I got out of the car at the office.

That could have really sucked, because I am sure some how they would have made it your fault.

People in general need to really think about the situation as far as a person vs a car.

This put into perspective how close you must have been. I had a situation with a girl riding a bike with traffic. I was doing 35mph came up to them, moved as much over as I possibly could with traffic coming at me. The girl suddenly turns her bike (like how someone loses their balance on a bike and swerves) I’ve never cut the car so hard and so quick in my life. I could barely keep the gas even after that and I was shaking like a mother fucker.
