Fast Reflex

I'm driving on this nice summer day Listening to music along my way When a crazy driver, crosses the yellow line Straight at me, suddenly things aren't fine! Life flashes by me, incidents before When I wasn't so lucky, that is for sure Thank God for fast reflex, it is a must Leaving me on side of the road in the dust! Inches I'd say, almost head on... Watch out for crazy drivers and bless the green lawn! Heidi Sands 8/20/19

Thank you Joseph. You are right. Actually, there are daily crashes going on in our state lately more than usual. Have a nice day :)

G'day Heidi … I can only imagine how you felt in the aftermath. From wanting to murder to shivering from shock - I felt I was in your shoes Heidi - Lindsay

Thankfully you had a lucky escape Heidi, it doesn't matter how good a driver you are there's always idiots on the road that you have to watch out for. Tom

Hi Tom. Yes, very lucky. I have been in 2 head on collisions before. One, on this road in other area, as a passenger. Another, driving when someone else lost control in the snow. I certainly flashed back to those and came close to a 3rd. There are a lot of crazy drivers and crashes in our state lately. Thank you for your comment :)

That sounded like a harrowing experience to me. Nice reflexes Heidi. They were probably texting. :)

It sure was! It was crazy and close. They could have been, yes. Thank you Chris :)
