Todays' scare :

I'm leaving work, leaving from a stop, accelerating, I'm at around 55km/h when a guy in his Astro van pulls out of a parking lot, 10 feet in front of me! I saw him pull out (so that gave me an edge) and he NEVER check incoming traffic!!!

Before today, I thought my brakes needed a little adjustments the pedal was feeling a bit soft ... but apparently not : I easily locked the front wheels for a fraction of a second! But nothing too hard and I was able to swerve away from this idiot!

That was a very VERY close one! I was still shaking from the adrenaline rush minutes ago (this happened 15 minutes ago). I'm chilling out at McDo with a 1$ drink leaching their free WiFi!
