Near death experience

I was almost knocked down by a car last night, while I was cycling home.  The car was turning into a side lane on my left, and didn’t slow down to watch for incoming traffic.  As it was raining, and I was on a down slope, my attempts to brake hard was futile.  I was watching the car in alarm as I saw it hurtling on to my right side.  I was thinking that it was going to hit me.  Thank God that the driver slammed on her brakes.  I was 20 centimeters from being crushed by the car.

All I could do when it seems as if we were going to connect, was to croak “Hey hey hey!”.  My life did not even flash across my eyes.
