If anything ever almost happens, you will never forget. Scruffs escaped from a house I was house sitting, ran to my house down the street (but I didn't know), and I was looking for him. He saw me, ran across the street. Inches from the car tire. Car slammed on its breaks and barely stopped in time. I will never forget that moment, and I would probably become crazy and never forgive myself if he had died that day. My street isn't too busy either but I wouldn't take the risk if I were you. I would stick to retraining and taking out on a retractable leash for now. Work on rewarding when she comes back, like I said before.
