I remember years ago when I was on my way home from some place and I was driving alone. I was on a road with a high speed limit so I was moving pretty fast. This was many years ago when I was a lot younger.
It was dark and no lights lit up anywhere. I went down a street that had no barriers and I thought it was strange as I didn't see any other cars on the road going either way.
As I continued down the road I saw barriers in the road that someone moved to the side and luckily I stopped short. It was a good thing that I stopped as there was a big ditch in front of me.
Besides being scared and relieved that I didn't go in the ditch, I thought that possibly some kids moved the barriers because they thought it was funny.
That is one day I will never forget and so thankful that someone was watching over me.

I don`t drive, but when I am in a bus these things happen from time to time.

@Alternative4 That is good. I guess the bus drivers are trained to help passengers not feel so stressful.

It can be unpleasant. But the bus driver is always making the best out of the situation.

I have run into a ditch before on a backroad where some neighborhood kids had removed all the signs on the road and thought it'd be funny for someone to crash their car. My car and I were not humored

Thank you. I always knew someone was watching over me after that.
Oh my! Well thank goodness you did stop!! That not-even one second decision made a huge difference to the outcome. How scary to think about the "what if"

That was quite lucky, you definitely have someone watching over you 
i've never driven before but there were times when the driver stopped so abruptly (it was in a bus and i was with my high school classmates) good thing my position was god enough that i didn't get bruised.. my other friends weren't so lucky
