I was coming down the highway, cruising the speed limit. No sign of slowed traffic in front of me. Left lane, construction wall to my left, no shoulder. I see a cop on the side, lights on, glance over for maybe 1 or 2 seconds to see what’s going on, look back in front and I’m 10 feet from the back of an 18 wheeler dead stopped, all lanes dead stopped traffic. My lizard brain took over and I managed to skid diagonally across the entire highway to the right shoulder without even thinking about it.
That’s the one that stands out where I wasn’t injured. It’s shit like that that makes me wonder if we die in moments like that and wake up in an alternate timeline or something.
Oh god which time.
