Thought I was going to see Jesus...
Never have come so close before.
4 lane road with a left turn lane. I am in the left lane coming up on an intersection. Light turns red, I stop and the car in the left turn lane finishes their turn. I am headed West and the Northbound traffic gets the green and starts crossing the intersection. Car heading Eastbound didn't see the light, and swerves to avoid hitting the cross traffic. During the swerve, notices me and swerves back to his side, missing me by inches. When I seen the car swerve towards me, the only thing I could do was grab on tight and ducked down to brace for impact. I thought for sure I was getting hit head on while stopped. The sound of all this alone almost made me soil myself. When I lifted my head up... all I could see was the car had kept going and never looked back. Nice.

Yep, sure can ruin a good ride. Thought for sure I had met him this day.
Got close enough to see him, but didn't get the chance to shake hands.

Glad to hear it was just a very close call. And by the way, bowel control is way overrated anyway.
