Opium Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 The light turned green and I accelerated as I was supposed to. A van on the left came to a screeching halt as I passed, and I didn't really feel anything. I thought I'd be more shaken up from an event like that, being so close to a likely fatal collision. There wasn't even any adrenaline, just my Spotify; the calming nylon pickings of Mark Kozelek, some leftover thoughts on my time in New Mexico these past few days, and the lingering dread of having to integrate back into a barely functioning adult life. I also thought about how the driver would have been charged with manslaughter and how his life would spiral. Then I realized this thought stemmed from the mild frustration at him for almost wrecking this physical shell and quelled it because it was an irrational mental response to what actually amounted to nothing. Unless I'm actually dead and this is a dream. In which case I will you to send nudes.

KreiaDidNothingWrong Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I call it "steak'd" because I like to make my traffic victims think when I'm apologizing to them. It keeps their brain active so they don't become vegetables.
RainyDayJizz#35 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Narrowly avoiding a serious accident like that usually leaves me a little shaken when I'm at the mercy of another's will. If I'm pretty much in full control of what's happening I don't even think. Just avoid the locus and keep going.

If I'm pretty much in full control of what's happening I don't even think. Just avoid the locus and keep going. I feel like I would have been shaken if I was the one causing the collision, probably as a result of my aversion to responsibility. Edited April 24, 2018 by Opium
RainyDayJizz#35 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Ah, when I'm responsible for the outcome I have confidence in my abilities to either minimize damage or avoid it completely. But I probably have as much time behind the wheel as a 60 year old man.
Sieg67 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I think the drivers here are getting worse. I'm seeing people run red lights nearly every day now. Then there's the increase of people who pull out in front of me, do 20mph over, never use turning signals or can't seem to remember where the gas pedal is.

I feel like I remember you saying you were years back, but I could be mistaken.

NSAID Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Why my friend and I got into an accident on the highway (another driver lost control and hit the side of our car) it was intense, but nothing major happened. A couple in a van pulled over to check if we were okay, and the guy had some comic tattoos on his arm. I lost focus on the potentially fatal accident bc my biggest thought at the time was, "why gambit?"
pail Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 You're lucky you didn't get hit. If you had been hit all the genius Inspector Go Go Gadget Goffuckyourselves here would have chastised you for "doing pills", assumed their moral high ground and returned to huffing their own gas.
