Glad your're ok!
And funny that you should mention this because just on my way home last night I came as close as I've been to being in an accident in a long long time! I was just minding my own business in the fast lane (3 lane highway). I could see the cars further up were starting to slow down. Mind you I said starting to slow down. Well, the guy in front of me must not have been paying attention and he panicked and slammed on his brakes and came almost to a complete stop!
Needless to say I had to slam on my brakes - no ABS - and when I did the car pulled to the right really hard I tried to recover and turned back to the left. I've got a 4-wheel drive Tracker (SUV) and I could feel it whipping around and it flashed through my mind that I was going to roll over....if I didn't hit somebody first.
Well, the good news is I didn't roll over and the moron in front of me started moving again so I didn't hit him, but thank goodness I had left enough room between us, and double thank goodness there was nobody in the middle lane or I would have swerved right into them! Whew! Needless to say I was a little shakey afterwards, but like you, I was close to home so I just kept going.
Weird, that two of us should come so close on the same day at almost the same time.
