I was thinking that if we post some of our "Close Calls" and what we did to avoid a wreck it might help others.
This morning me and one of my close co-workers both got an extra cup of coffee. I go to work at 6, so my morning commute is at 5:30, very dark. I got a green light at an intersection and being the perfect temp this morning to ride I was feeling a little froggy. I watched for yellow light runners but never really slowed down infact I was most likely accelerating through the right turn. Well a good friend of mine didn't see me because of a bush in the parking lot of a convince store and he started to pull out to the right as I was turning right towards him. Well we saw each other at the same time, he liked to broke his neck stopping and I about broke mine changing lanes and accelerating even more. I waited a little while for him to come over and let me have it at work and I guess he was thinking that I was going to let him have it so I decided I just go over to his area and make sure he didn't want to kill me. We both laughed about it, but in reality even though I didn't break any laws if something would have happened he probably would have gotten into trouble, but the whole situation could have been prevented by me if I hadn't been riding a little bit like an asre this morning. Watch those intersections.
