I almost crashed tonight.
Driving down Front Street, I noticed my back interior lights were on. I reached back to turn them off, taking my eyes momentarily off the road. Apparently, I also nudged the wheel a bit too; when I had succesfully turned off the lights, I was directly in the path of an oncoming SUV. Without any thought of remaining calm, I jerked the wheel back in the opposite direction, hoping to quell my fears of death. I managed to aviod the SUV (the driver honked and made lewd gestures as he drove past), but ended up on the lawn of a dentist office. I got back the road and back home as fast as possible, keeping my eyes unblinking and on the pavement.

What If I had done real damage? Suppose a mother and a young child were in the car and my unintentional carelessness had killed them both. Maybe it's best if I never set foot near any sort of automobile again, as to aviod possible carnage inflicted by my own stupidity. Oh well. I guess I should be grateful; car tracks in a dentist's well-landscaped lawn are preferable to the mom/child scenario.
