Default Maruader almost trashed last night!!!

I was in Houston with my parents and my pregnant wife, and we were driving back to the house after we went out to eat. I was somewhere between 529 and West, across from the Ross on Hwy 6 when this car came from a side street doing about 45 mph. This person was in a Nissan economy car. I was in the right lane and a Lexus SUV was in the middle lane about 10 feet ahead of me. I noticed the person in the Nissan approaching the stop sign rather fast and began to get ready for the worst. It was like a sense of denial that this person was going to run this stop sign into a pack of cars. Ends up the Nissan t-bones the Lexus and I managed to manuver to the right of the accident. I only had inches to play with. No damage to the Maruader or anyone inside. It was a NASCAR experience. The lady in the Nissan was in a complete daze. It is unbelievable how people can have their head so far up their ***!

Good save! I've been hit by someone running a stop sign, it makes you want to pull the sign out of the ground and bash them with it until thier pulseless.

To be honest, I did not even hesitate. It happened so fast, but in my mind it was all in slow motion.
