    Almost got killed..!

    I went up our long driveway on our ATV to get the mail. I had to get off of it, turn it off but keep the light shining across the road, as our mailbox is across and it was/is pitch black night.... so I go over, get the mail. Well, all of a sudden, there are these three cars FLYing down the road.. two were in the wrong, oncoming lane (it's 2-lane highway) I think they were either racing, or two cars were passing the one, but they were all going over 70mph it was obvious. Well, the one car came within about a foot of me on the shoulder of the road, waving my arma, highly visible b/c of the ATV light..
    The way it's setup, they could have slammed me, left me for dead, and no one would know. However we do have a neighbor that's very watchful; he was out and heard me yell a ton of obscenities after them, lol.. I am just glad to be OK now.
    Even worse, our driveway is on a hill, situated so they could not have possibly seen anything that was oncoming.. shudder.

    There was nowhere to run; there's just a steep ditch along the side. I could not even tell what model the cars were or anything.. just these high beams in my face. Makes me wish I coulda shot out their tires.

    Re: Almost got killed..!

    some people are just idiots. I had a close a couple months ago. A power line came down in the street here where we live so myself and some other neighbors where keeping people away from it (I served on FD in the past). Anyway we had some vehicles out to keep any cars away and I had a flashlight and was flagging a car to stop and they buzzed me. I was like WTF...i know they saw me and the vehicles...they where just lucky the line didn't catch on their vehicle and harm them or any of us from a recoil.
