I was about to cross a busy highway yesterday, at a 2 way stop sign. Glanced over to my left and saw 2 cars coming , so I looked down for a second and waited for them to pass. Was about to cross the highway when at the last second I noticed two smaller darker vehicles approaching, that been obscured by the first two cars.

Had I merely slowed down, rather than stopped, I might not have seen the second two cars, pulled out in front of them, and been dead. One small mistake like that is all it takes to end a life, always look twice or even three times.
