On the way back from Santa Barbara last week I barely missed being in an horrific accident where the traffic ahead in my lane came to a stop. I had trouble stopping at the rate of speed I was travelling but when I did stop I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the car behind me braking hard...smoke coming off the tires and I had to swerve into the carpool lane to avoid him hitting me. Luckily the car going by me in the car pool lane also moved left to let me in!!! It would have been very bad had he hit me and I was so glad Ava was in the carseat. I have had her in the carrier and braked hard and had her fly onto the floor board in the carrier. She wasn't hurt but I have learned my lesson. |
