Still Shaking From Near Miss

A Facebook friend posts:

I have to commend the driver of the CDA Paving dumptruck, loaded, with an additional loaded trailer of gravel for his driving. I was in the Northbound left lane on Highway 95 at about 12:45pm today, at Neider Ave, and a lady driving in a new black Minivan pulled out RIGHT IN FRONT of the Paving truck. That driver did a tremendous job slamming on his brakes, and smoking the tires to avoid hitting her. She then pulled over in my lane, and I about tagged her as well. I gave her the finger, to show exactly how happy I was. If folks cant see a paving truck, logging truck, 18 wheeler, cement truck driving down the road, in my opinion, they should re think driving. I am still shaking!!!

Question: Describe your last near miss on an area roadway.
