Two Close Calls Reminded Me to Stay Alert Behind the Wheel

Today was a real wake-up call for me on the road. I almost got into two accidents—one because of another driver, and one that was totally my fault. The first happened when a car suddenly shot across a busy street right in front of me. I was shocked, not angry, but it made me realize how quickly things can change. Later, I made a mistake at a red light, forgetting to watch for left-turning cars. The honks from other drivers were humbling, but they reminded me we all make mistakes. These moments taught me to slow down, stay aware, and not let anxiety rush my decisions. Stay safe out there! Have you ever had a close call?
