Thank God My Brakes Were Working

As I was driving to work this morning, a bit tired and drowsy, however, under the speed limit, two cars suddenly stopped in an area where cars do not usually stop. I swerved my car to the left, checking my mirror and luckily, I was able to avoid hitting them. Nonetheless, they took advantage of my move and followed. They just needed to get to the other side, not just one lane but two lanes across. My heart almost stopped when another car in front of me came to a full stop. I stepped on my brakes and said a little prayer. My car swerved to the left a bit, but I managed to control it. Thank God. The driver who caused all of this went by, stuck his hand out the window in a sign of apology. Meanwhile I was cursing and being grateful at the same time, if that is even doable.

This definitely woke me up.
