let me see, I've been 4 times nearly hit by car while trying to cross the street (twice was my not looking on left and right). And one my friend's brother died last year in car accident on slipy road from rain. It was sharp turn and friend of that guy drived nearly 80km/h or so, what was the road limit, but on the turn, some car was there and he tryed to avoid it so he lost control, few bumps and they hit the tree... Cars and roads are real killing machine.
