Default Quick reaction and reverse saved my Z

I was waiting to make a left onto Morningside off of Tams Rd. last night. I then hear tires screeching from braking and this silver civic coming towards me. I slam it in reverse and managed to get out of the way. He would have hit me for sure.

The front end of his civic was all banged up, looked like he left an accident or was drunk. He then straitened his car out and started driving towards me. I kept reversing and he narrowly missed me and speed off. Scared the **** out of me! I am still shocked the Z doesn't have a scratch on it..

Coles notes: always stay alert when behind the wheel; even at a stop sign or red light.

I had to use this to save my *** as well. Some car almost understeered into me while turning into the street I was on waiting for a green light. Reverse gear certainly saved it as (s)he understeered right past my front bumper.

Sounds like he stopped, straightened out and aimed at you! Luckily nothing happened, it could have been pretty bad.

ya, I was still in shock after it happened and wasn't thinking straight. I just wanted to get out of that shitty area. I kind of down played it since he came off a major road into residential, thinking he was probably right near his home.

The next day I was thinking what you mentioned above, and called 41 Division. They said I had to come in person to report anything.

Obviously they weren't too interested.

That is exactly what happened. He did not look right, drugs or alcohol were probably involved. Scary **** man.
