When driving today, I was thinking about how comfortable we all are with being so close to death... just about half a meter away from a deathly head on collision. Crazy.

@nanko I realized this one time during a long car ride on some narrow highways and hilly areas, it was terrifying. I also mentally lowered the distance to consider from half a meter of actual distance to few centimetres/degrees of the wheel turning. Never liked cars, but that was the first time I actually got kind of spooked.

@namark Indeed. Tons of ways it can go terribly wrong, and only a few ways it can go right.
