I hate that feeling as well. I had that feeling thursday on my commute. I'm cruising with traffic and this genderless no mind pulls a right hand turn from the left lane of traffic, right in front of me. That's when I learned I didn't have brakes, and did the quick avoidance right turn all the while yelling "YO, YO, YO!" And it wasn't because my life was flashing before me.

Luckily, I survived. I would've made a big dent in the side of the SUV. I hope I'd of smacked the heck out of the tinted windows too. I was so Peeved. I cursed this person for the rest of the ride. By the time I made it to work I was over it.
