Sounds rather ominous... glad you were able to avert the nastiness... 
Yesterday I had a rather close call... an impatient driver behind me, a
slow driver ahead of me, with some relatively slow drivers a little ways
ahead of her, and a somewhat steady (if not tightly packed) stream of
vehicles coming towards us, on a two-lane road.... the impatient driver
decided to pass anyway... and drove right into an oncoming car... the
loud report from the crash seemed to be right in my car... I kept
driving, the car in front of me moved over to the shoulder, and I saw a
rather messy two-car accident in my mirrors...  As others were stopping,
I decided to just keep going.  Halfway from there to my destination, I
began to wonder if I'd been nicked in the process, but as it turned out,
my car had not a scratch.... just my nerves a bit shot...

As can be my Triptik construction alerts, actually...  but sometimes
it's long-term and useful...  :)

Best to leave alone, then, indeed...  :)

They've probably developed a sixth sense for them... maybe even can tell
by the slight variance in color as they race past... ;)

Such a disappointment... ;)
