Absolutely true. I was driving to NC, prob in WV at the time, and I saw lights just flash across the sky and couldn't figure out what it was. As I got closer to where it was, someone jumped the grassy median (the north and southbound lanes were invisible to each other, mostly trees and 20ft drop) and stopped in the middle of a turn on road. I was a sedan pulling a trailer going the speed limit of 70mph, slammed on the brakes fighting the trailer trying to jackknife the whole time and missed him by less than I like to park next to people. I had to pull off to the side to collect myself as well. If I would have let it affect me I never would have been able to get the 2/3rds of the way down there or back without driving myself insane. Sure I was prepared to bust his window out if I ever saw him again, but It happens and you just need to keep rolling with the punches.
