Luckily nothing more serious happened. Maybe you had someone else riding with you that day. Like the Man upstairs. It could have happened at a stop light or when the idiot always pulls in front of you, or when that crazy cager changes lanes right in front of you and then slams on the brakes to stop from hittin' some stupid kitty kat. Thank God you're alive....
