1 Answer

Answer :

That last one had me cracking up. The only near miss I can think of was a car accident I was in when I was 17. I was in my friend’s truck sitting in the middle of the back seat. I didn’t have my seatbelt on (it wasn’t require for people over 16 in the back seat) and we were getting ready to go through an intersection. I decided to put my seatbelt on for some reason (I don’t know why though), and when we went through the intersection, another truck ran the red light and we t-boned them. The firefighters said that if it wasn’t for my seatbelt, I would’ve went through the windshield (because of my size, the truck layout, and the force we hit the other vehicle). I ended up with some lacerations and bruises from the seatbelt, but that’s much better than what I would have had if I went through the windshield.
