Yep sometimes people need those real near misses to remind them.
When I was learning to drive I was very careful about checking each way and blindspots before doing anything. After about a year I was pulling out of a gas station one morning and there was a truck blocking my view to the right. I got complacent and I thought well I dont see any cars and I rolled forward a bit about to pullout and behind the truck was a car going 60km. If I’d pulled out I would have died.
Now im extra fucking careful to make 100% sure I’m pulling out safely.
Yeah like a kid who gets told a hundred times the stove is hot, sometimes they need to gently brush hot steel to realize they need to be a LOT more careful.
It ain’t the right way to learn, but it’s dang effective.

Glad you didn’t die, that’s scary.
