Hi Postdog, hope you are feeling a bit better x
Some years ago me and a friend where crossing a main road, we watched the lights change so we knew it was ok to cross, I got to about a quater of the way across, the next thing this car came from nowhere, driving at top speed. I went to run back to the kerb but my friend told me to stay still. I think I did a full turn in panic because I didn't know where to run. This car hit the kerb. I got across the road and nearly vomited because I thought, if I'd have run back to the kerb......well lets just say I wouldn't have been here to tell the story. It still gives me the shakes when I think about it.
