The winter of my 8th grade year, my mom and I were driving home in her minivan when an SUV came flying around the curve on our side of the road. I mean, flying...my mom swerved, but the SUV ran off the side of the road and crashed into a tree. I was scared to death. The lady driving the SUV died, and if her car had been inches to the right she would've hit us head on and I probably wouldn't be around now because those minivans back then didn't have much of a front end. I had the same realization as you that night.
