What was your "that could've killed me!" moment?

Nothing special. Cruising down a local road. Coming to a tight curve and this fucking giant GMC is blasting around it HALFWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LANE. There's no room to evade as it's a one lane road and my side is but a barrier with heavily sloped dirt and vegetation right next to it.

Slammed on the brakes and held down the horn. Somehow he misses me by an inch. I'm still holding down the horn as ABS kicks in and brings me to a stop. Shitass is already gone but even as I am stopped I honk again in an "are you fucking kidding me I hope you hear this asshole" way.

If he struck me, all of the opposing vehicles momentum would be directed on my side of the vehicle. Being a taller and heavier car, he could have easily lodged his vehicle on top of my roof and crushed me inside if the impact was just right.

It was Thanksgiving afternoon so I can only surmise they were drunk.
