About a week ago my wife and I, plus my cousin from Brazil, were on our way to our childbirth class. Suddenly the car ahead of me, a BMW, screeched to a halt and then crashed into the car ahead of it. With a controlled reaction, giving me more time than I needed, I slowly applied the brake until my car came to a crawl. On instinct I looked in my rear mirror and could see the car behind me hurtling toward us. Instantly, I released my break just enough for my car to roll forward and give the car behind me time to stop.
As I waited for my heartbeat to slow down, I realized that three cars were involved in the accident ahead of us. Also, it occured to me that I had passed the street I should have turned on. If I had been going where I should have been, I wouldn't even had seen the accident. But, if not for the accident, I would have not realized I had missed my turn until much later.
