Have you had any hear misses lately?
I had one just now.
I am waiting at an intersection, red light.
Light changes to green, car in front of me goes, I go.
As I am turning, a car comes through the intersection, against the red light and I miss him by about 1 foot.
He obviously was not paying attention and drove through the intersection as if he had a green light.
I only gave him two toots and we continued on our way.
Concentration is needed at all times whilst driving.

just yesterday, i was passing a car in the centre of the road turning right, a young lad hoody up and ear plugs in, looking at his mobile walks across in front of the car turning right, i screeched to a halt, don’t think he noticed

I was not driving at the time, but I was in the city yesterday, just people watching.
One lone male crossing an intersection on a green walk signal was looking down at this phone the whole time (4 lanes). Never once looking up, relying on all drivers to do the right thing.
If one driver was inattentive (as the pedestrian was) and went through the intersection, the pedestrian gave himself no chance to take evasive action.
Fools the lot of them.

Yep, yesterday at the give way lines at a T junction on the apex of a bend, constant traffic both ways, a gap presented itself to right, one vehicle going past from the left so, I half pulled out to tuck in behind him but without indication he decided to turn right in front of me, I hit the ankers and managed not to hit him in the side.

Can’t count near misses but have had four so far none of which caused by me. Two of them led to a total damage.
