Ever had a really, really close call?

tting yourself 
thats nothing... you have to see the worker that went on the track without knowing that one of the trains was coming up the track.... dived out of the way on to the other track and just as that one finished another came the other way and he dived out of the way of the second... that would make sure your colon dont need cleansing...
Touching Cloth!!!!
I've been track and witnessed a 125mph train on the tightest bend possible, with a sighting distance off <200m. That was close! The bloke in question was disciplined.
I've only had one relatively close call, nothing exciting, bending down to pick up tool box as a train passed by, i was in the cess/next to rail, well i tell you the trains are rather wider than i first thought!

I was driving my best mates Mini down to see his sister in Bournmouth years ago.
We had set off late and were driving down a deserted M6 at about 3am.
For some reason I thought I would pull out into the middle lane for a change, didn't look, didn't indicate, we hadn't seen another car for 10 mins, just as I pulled out a Merc S class hammered past us doing north of 100, I must have been doing 60 max., the car moved in its wake and he missed us by inches.
We just looked at eachother and fell silent until the next junction where I handed over the driving to my mate.

Hmmm, red boxes on that video look like some sort of computer vision program.
Face recognition on CCTV cameras?
nothing so sinister, just motion detection, probably got a digital "only record on motion" system in place. Saves storage space. Typically you can turn these boxes off, but they are handy to help adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection and for masking off areas of the image you dont want to monitor.Face recognition on CCTV cameras?
Bored yet?

a) Surely if it was empty, you would have noticed the new set of lights appearing in the mirror andWe had set off late and were driving down a deserted M6 at about 3am.

b) If it was 3am, why were you doing 60mph and
c) Why were you driving anyway?
oh and that stupid cow wants a fine for that stupid drunken display...
A few years ago, 5 up in an old Rover 214, we were in Silverstone village, just slowing down to turn right into a mates' driveway off the main road. As the car turned in, a rigid lorry overtook us at about 50mph, sideswiped us, removing the door mirror and most of the front bumper. A few inches to the left and he would of hit us square up the chuff. It would have been carnage.
