I was crossing a busy street, on a crosswalk. The car closest to me waved me on (I always make sure I make eye contact, since many drivers don't see runners...which brings me to the bumper sticker I need Start Seeing Runners). I started running across when another car was moving forward, they saw me mid-intersection and slowed for me, but the car to the right of them was not watching at all. Luckily I saw them and stopped for them, but man when they saw me it scared them so bad that they slammed on their brakes and did a real, live Dukes of Hazzard fish-tail about 5 feet away from where they thought they would hit me. Oh dear.
Not my fault at all, but so sorry about the cardiac arrest you almost experienced. Just START SEEING RUNNERS.
