Cheating death

Most of us must have cheated death in some way or another in their lives (or have they?)

This guy does it in style:



It reminded me of a time I was in my 20s and driving down a country road with a mate and saw a Range Rover heading our way as you do on country lanes when unknown to us and the driver of the vehicle, their horse-box had become detached and suddenly veered across our path, narrowly missed us, hit the hedge on our inside as we passed and bounced back into the lane we were travelling on. My mate who was driving, never at any point lifted off the accelerator and carried on at the same speed throughout.
I said to him: "That could have killed us!" His reply: "Yeah but it didn't."
Onward we travelled, never knowing what carnage may or may not have occurred behind us.
 


...I was in London last Monday evening, traffic was jammed and we were at a pedestrian crossing. You couldn't see the lights because a bus was queuing in front of us, a young lady tried to cross slowly in front of the bus and a boy racer came speeding up the inside lane and nearly wiped her out.

It was as close a shave as you could get, he hit her hand and her phone was thrown down the road. Mrs Eggs covered her face fearing a fatality. Amazing how near you can get to death.
 
I nearly got wiped out on the M1 once, stopped on the hard shoulder to help a mate who'd run out of fuel, I'd just stepped out of the door when a van came straight at me, I had to jump over the boot of my car to avoid it. The van smashed into my car then carried on up the motorway where it scraped the barriers on the central reservation before stopping back on the hard shoulder. the driver had had a heart attack and his wife was in the passenger seat utterly terrified. the guy died unfortunately but I survived, just.
 

hHad a few bevvies with my cousins waiting for a fight to come on years ago, can't for the life of me remember who was fighting. Anyway, the fight wasn't on for a few more hours and we were running out of ale so we went up Anfield road to the offie. As we come out the offie we're all still gabbing away while crossing over the road as some car comes flying down the road.

It was one of them moments were if you were sensible you'd just hang back. I chanced it and ran across, narrowly avoiding getting killed. My cousins were in a state of shock (I don't think my mind has ever really processed how close it was) and people smoking outside the pub on the corner thought I was a gonn'er for sure.
