Miracle on Durham Freeway
Wow- I came *this* close to at least seeing a pileup on Durham freeway this afternoon.
I was coming back from lunch thru the downtown area, traffic was kinda heavy.
I was pretty much in the clear, but I could see up ahead a number of cars bunched-up, maybe
behind some slow-moving traffic.
A little silver car in the slow-lane tried to pull-out into the fast lane. I'm not exactly sure WHAT happened next, all I see is lotsa tire-smoke and the little silver car pulls BACK
over to the slow lane HARD.
Next thing I know little silver car is swerving ALL OVER the road... LOTS of tire-smoke now!
Thankfully everyone in the general vicinty had the good sense to brake like hell at this point. Which is a good thing, as little silver car ended up at a dead stop facing the WRONG WAY in the middle of the highway.
Amazingly enough everybody got stopped, little silver car turned around quickly and went on it's merry way, and no-one so much as traded any paint.
Friggin lucky!
