I was in 10th or 11th grade, and my brother and I were on our way home from school. I was going about 65-70 when a minivan decides to cut right in front of me for some unforseen reason, and instead of getting out of the way or at least speeding up, the minivan stays in my lane going probably half the speed I'm going, so naturally I slam on the brakes and in the next instant I have speed wobbles and I ended up spinning out on a moderately busy freeway. My car ended up doing about a 540 degree turn, and all the while all I can see is smoke and cars swerving around me literally a foot from my car. It probably took all of 10 seconds for the whole thing to happen, but it felt like an eternity. I ended up having my car facing the opposite direction of traffic, and I had to turn my car around, but I was so shaky that I ended up backing into and slightly bumping the center divider. Goes without saying I didn't drive again for the rest of that day.
