Near-miss car crashes

Have one of these recently?

My work takes me to downtown OKC every day (and I live there). It's not a huge downtown area, and most of the city is suburban-esque. That means that when drivers find themselves on one-way streets with signal lights every block, they drive like hsti.

A couple of weeks ago, I was crossing through an intersection, I had another car next to me on my right. A third car comes (as my father would put it) "barrel-assing" through the intersection and plows into the car on my right. I take slight evasive action and come out unscathed.

I have one of these types of experiences almost monthly. Oklahoma drivers are great in the suburbs and on the interstates -- polite and considerate people for the most part. In our downtown area, they are just clueless...
