I've had two near head on collisions in the last two days.
The first was on a long sweeping (two lane) curve with guard rails, tight to my right hand side. I came around to find a car coming straight at me and I had no place to go, just locked the brakes and prayed. The guy looked up (from texting I would guess) at the last minute and rocketed out of my lane at the last minute.
The second was at a light with a very broad wide intersection, recently widened out for semis. I was taking a right on the green and a car cut the corner coming from my right. He was running the red that had just changed. He cut so much of the corner that he was actually completely in my lane. The only thing that saved me on this one is that he was going so fast that he beat me through the intersection. If I had been standing on it (as he was) I would have been wiped out, head on.
I live in a city where red lights are meaningless to half the drivers and the other half are just plain stupid.
