Damn Dave now you got me thinking of similar situations that happened to me like that. I always look both ways before blowing through green light intersections late at night and even in broad day light when i take off from green lights i look both ways, and one night around 3 in the morning I remember coming up on a green light (still very far) and thinking, "damn .. I haven't seen someone blow through a red light in a while", and sure enough as soon as i thought it someone blows the red light in front of me going like 40-50, i was far from the intersection still, maybe like 50 yards. but the fact that it happened the moment after i thought about it tripped me the fuck out. I've been in crazy driving situations where my very good driving skills (been off-roading since i was 12) and being able to judge other drivers and what they are gonna do have saved me but I can't call them Divine Intervention. The closest thing I can think of is once I was driving on the freeway and took the connector from one freeway to another, a big bridge that turns around and then the two lanes merge to one lane and that one lane merges to the new freeway, Now ordinarily i would say i somehow predicted that the driver in front of me was gonna fuck up, but there was absolutely no signs that anything was gonna happen, BUT STILL For some reason i just slowed down A LOT and sure enough the car in front of me fucks up his merging and ends up slamming on his breaks big time! if i where anywhere near him i would have rear ended him pretty badly.
Correction that was not the closest Divine intervention experience i had..OK see now you got me remembering another.
I'm gonna tell you about a very big accident i was in and this has definitely got to do with Divine Intervention and maybe even more!! TRUE STORY: A long time ago about 96-97 me and my cousin were driving in his 94 Honda accord northbound on the 101 freeway trying to get to north Hollywood. This freeway back then was huge(prob bigger now) 6 lanes wide each side north/south, we were in the slow lane driving at 65 MPH. As you may know in big freeways like that BIG RIGS tend to drive in the number 2 lane which is the lane directly left of the slow lane. It was about 2:30 afternoon and the freeway was packed! Not too packed, enough room to go 65MPH so there are cars everywhere but we're all doing 65. We slowly start passing a big rig and as we almost pass him he drifts into our lane and and pretty much pit maneuvers us. I'm gonna attach a shitty diagram
to try to help explain. the GREEN car is us, the RED cars hit us, the gray cars never touched us.
Basically we did an "S" on the freeway and when that last car hit us it sent us flying over the center divider(W beam, recalled in the 70's as not sufficient to withhold wrecks!!)and the front of the car landed in the fast lane of the south bound while the back end stayed up on the center divider. This is the closest brush with death I ever had,
We literally could not believe we survived the accident. It's so hard to explain the feeling but i will try. We ended up getting towed to my Dad's girlfriends house which was near by and we were still in massive shock. My dad's girlfriend kept telling us "It's alright, You guys are fine" but we could not accept the fact that we were alive, we truly believed we were dead, there was no fucken way we could have survived that accident, i still remember the faces of the people coming head on towards us as they passed us by NON of them hitting us. We kept saying
"No, we're not alright, we should be dead, we should be dead!" My cousin started tripping out and he said we have to get out of here. So we took a walk and ended up at el polo loco grabbing a bite to eat. After we finished eating it was like a wave of relief passed over us and we could finally except that we were actually alive, we ate, we must be alive!! just thinking about that accident gave me goosebumps for YEARS to come! Now the "MORE" part. exactly 2 weeks after that accident on the EXACT SAME STRETCH OF ROAD, EXACT SPOT, California's deadliest accident occurred. this time a big rig traveling SOUTH BOUND lost control and went from his slow lane across all lanes dragging cars with him , ran over the center divider and crashed into all the cars coming up the north bound lane, it was approx 13-15 cars involved, there was a massive fire and Dozens of people died!! WTF!!
