How have you almost been "taken out"?
Mine was today on NASA Rd 1 (NASA Parkway for you young folks), an old Ford Explorer pulled out of a parking lot across moving traffic (5 lanes wide) and was headed to the center turn lane as I was closing at 45 MPH. I was on the brakes and luckily the moron stopped before entering my lane. The passenger looking at me had her hands on her ears. I'm not sure what that was supposed to do. Luckily oncoming traffic from the other direction was coming off a red light so they were just slowed and blocked. As I glanced back, the idiot driving the Explorer (with his ball cap on backwards -go figure) used the fact that his ambling out into oncoming traffic had stopped all 5 lanes to force his way into a thru lane.
