the incident that made the most lasting impression on me was a near miss traffic accident.
i had just bought a new car about 2 months after totalling the previous one. the new car was a 5 speed and i wasnt used to the clutch yet. i was at a light waiting for the green. when it changed, i got off the clutch too quick and it jerked into the intersection and stalled. i got it fired up quickly, put it in gear and was about to proceed when a semi-trailer went barrelling through the intersection, running the red light at about 40mph. missed me by a couple of feet.
