We've all had moments where all we can do is say "oh, sh**" and then either brace for the inevitable or stare in disbelief as the inevitable cockily saunters past.  For example, I was driving home from work one day and was sitting in my car at a red light.  There was one car ahead of me.  The light turned green, and the car ahead of me proceeded through the intersection.  For some reason, I didn't go right away.  I hesitated and allowed a good couple of car lengths between us before proceeding.  I then slammed on my brakes to avoid the driver who blew through the red light, narrowly missing me.  🤯It was like one of those slow motion movie scenes.  I could clearly see the driver and his passenger and the looks of terror on their faces when they realized the light was red, followed by them bursting into laughter.    I wonder if they realized how close they came to something that would have ended in tragedy, because they were going around 50 mph and would have t-boned me on the driver's side had I gone through as normal.  What caused me to hesitate, since I was paying attention and not distracted, and am normally pretty prompt about going when the light changes?  Let's explore and break down scenarios like this one.
