3 inches away from major trouble...
... last night I went out with my friend, Mike, to go shopping. We drove our own cars and I told him that he was a slow driver. So on our way to another store he dared to race me to the store. I accepted and I was ahead for the first couple seconds. Then he turned, taking the longer route while I took a shortcut through the parking lot. In parking lots, we're only supposed to go 10 mph at the most but we were speeding 50 mph. (oops) I decided to get my car in front of his so he couldn't get in front and get to the store first. So I sped even more while he was speeding up also. I was turning into the lane from the parking lot and he had sped up so much that I couldn't get in front of him. Instead, our cars almost collided into each other. He was going straight and if I had not braked fast enough, I would have busted the side of his car along with the front of my car. I swear it was close as ever...
Now, thinking about it... I am sooo lucky nothing happened. I would have gotten my license taken away, paid some pretty good fines knowing that I have a couple coins in my wallet, and my parents wouldn't trust me for years... and who knows what could have happened to me...
