[quote=Anonymous]Yes.

1. I was 21. Driving a country road. Bunny rabbit shot across it just as I was approaching a curve. I swerved and just at that time a car came around the curve. We hit each other at about 45 MPH. Heads on collision. Both cars completely totaled. We both walked away with nothing more than soreness. If it hadn't been for airbags I'd have died. I can still remember the moment of impact, 20 years later.

2. In the back seat of a taxi in Doha, Qatar, when I was working there a few years ago. Had settled in the back seat with my Starbucks coffee and was reading emails and looked up just in time to see the taxi smash head on into a car in front of us that had suddenly stopped. Taxi was totaled. We all walked away. Sore fore weeks. Came down with a flu a few days later, which I'm sure I got from the hospital visit after the accident.

I recovered from the first accident well enough but ever since accident 2 I've had anxiety when driving. I have it largely under control but it's tense for me to be on the beltway in rush hour so I avoid it as much as possible. I have to sing to myself to keep myself in control. I'm still working on defeating that anxiety. I have no issues driving on local roads or pretty much anywhere under 50 MPH.
