luckily, I was going the speed limit, about 64/65 on the freeway. I hit the guard rail, but woke up just before I hit. I slid sideways at least 60ft and wore two of my tires down. Scared the ever living shat out of me. I won't drive when I'm super tired anymore. The conditions on the freeway were worse because it went through some mountains with very little lighting, so it was super dark.

Quite a few. one of them was running against a late 80s Mustang on the Freeway. I was going 150+ when I felt something popped. The ride was alot rougher, I dropped off my friend and proceeded to the next gas station. I found my driver's side front tire was cut at the sidewall. The thing had virtually no pressure and I hurried my ass home after that.

i was driving down a snow packed highway when a pothole formed right under my tire. i could literally hear the gravel give away in my wheel well. i did a complete 360 and ended up facing the right direction in an emergency lane.

i was driving behind a untility truck when an 8 foot ladder came tumbling right off of it. i was able to dodge it by going into a turn lane, but the guy behind me drove right over it and pulled over. if i couldn't avoid it, it would have gone straight though my windshield at 45mph.

I got hit by a damn station wagon when I was riding my dirt bike. My left handle bar hit his windshield and I went flying. Only had cuts and road rash and sh!t though...

I almost ran over an Anti-Tank mine when driving my Tank in Operation Iraqi Freedom, but fortunately missed it. A little way down the road my friend in a Humvee told me my track went right by it.

My back tire blew out when I was riding my SV650 (streetbike) at 100+, fortunately I felt it and was able to slow it down gradually and get off the road. Sadly my friend who came to get me in his truck got stuck in the mud after we loaded the bike up.
