This evening I got the closest call to a most disruptive road accident, ever since I bought my present car... short story: I was coming back from the grocery shopping, thinking of my business and following 30 meters afar a light blue Nissan Micra on a deserted, dark city alley sided by tall trees... dunno what happened, maybe I was distracted for a second... maybe the Micra's stop lights weren't working (most probable) but once I looked forward, the car in front of me was STILL. 20 meters from the poor ol' me going at 50 km/h... BRAKES! ... the car slowed, the ABS engaged: crack...crack...crack..crack..crack.. but the trunk of the still car was approaching like in a cartoon, and my car was not stopping... till... STOP! ...I swear to God, 5 centimeters from it! My headlights were lighting only the upper half of its plate... a Miracle! And after a double JD and a reasonable thinking, I must thank first and for the 10% my habit of keeping a correct distance from the car in front of me, and for the remaining 90% the loving care of my Guardian Angel, my late Mom and her boss, His Highness Mr. God Almighty.

I always thank my mom for watching over me and shit.
I've had so many lucky and close calls, and all I can think is that my mom is watching down on me remember how she was when she was 20 years old and thinking I gotta protect this idiot.

It's a nissan micra, so it wouldn't have been an actual accident.
Still glad you're okay, mr. Italy. Be safe.
