On the way home from work today, I came thisclose to getting in an accident. I was heading into the shopping center where Curves is. A car leaving the shopping center got confused about how the parking lot works and was trying to turn left onto the main road using the lane for people turning in from the main road — me, in this instance.
I got new tires about a month ago. I’m convinced if not for them, the other car would have hit me head on. I did stop hard enough that my cell phone, which was tucked under my hip in the driver’s seat, flew off the seat and onto the floor board all the way under the accelerator.
The accident would have been the other driver’s fault. But my car is a 2001 Ford Focus and would have almost certainly been totaled. Affording a new car would be extremely problematic at the moment. Thank you, Jesus, for good brakes and new tires.
Stumble It!

Glad you are ok! Those close calls are NO fun.
I’m sure your heart was in your throat with that one! Glad you’re okay!
I’m so glad that you are safe! Thank God.
Oh thank goodness you’re safe. I am so glad you happened to get new tires recently.
Jesus didn’t have anything to do with it. Thank YOU for having the intelligence to keep your car in good repair. YOU.
