What is scary is that this was almost me and my car yesterday.. I was headed home and there was typically really bad traffic and I hear this tire squealing and look back in my rear view mirror and there is this huge semi truck that is barrelling down on me with smoke coming from his tires all over the place.. I thought for sure I was a gonner.. I already had the car in first gear and had enough room in front of me to be able to floor it and pull off into the left hand shoulder.. otherwise I would have been toast.. he stopped within inches of the back bumper of the car that was in front of me..

I am seriously thinking of putting red led lights all around the back window of my car that flash when I push my brake pedal.. this is the second time that I have almost been rear ended.
