WOW how insightful. Anything that distracts you from paying full attention to your driving increases the chances of an accident DUH.
Hahahahaha...I almost wrecked my car one night driving home from work.
A spider decided to lower himself down right in front of my face.
Probably two inches in front of my face.
Now, I had an experience when I was six or seven where I tried to crawl through a drainage pipe under a road. I got about halfway through and it got too narrow, and I couldn’t go forward. I was stuck trying to go back, and as I tried, I turned my head and had cobwebs all over my shoulder. Caught in one of them was a big daddy long-legs. (at six, all spiders are huge) I went ballistic and began screaming...my brother climbed in after me, pulled me out by my legs, and I ran up the road, swatting at the cobwebs, but every time I looked, that daddy long-legs was still there. I was jumping in the air, twirling, swatting, and, well...it took me well into adulthood before I got pretty much over it.
That spider lowering itself overrrode my psychological defenses long enough to make me swerve my car wildly from side to side before pulling onto the shoulder where I jumped out of the car swearing up a blue streak!
I know. It is just a little spider, but good God, the damned thing surprised me...
