Killed by a '72 Caddie
Or maybe it was an old Buick, some kinda big boat. Its rush hour traffic, about 10 degrees with slight flurries. The road is a little slick, but not too bad winter driving. I'm in the left lane following (lots of) traffic with about two car lengths in front of me. There is a car in the right lane about 1 car length ahead of me. We are doing about 65 MPH.
Dude comes up flying on my right and at the last possible second cuts in front of me. Of course I had backed off some or he would have plowed right into my front end. He immediately has to cut back in front of the guy on the right to avoid the car in front of me, which he does. Then he did an incredible 720 degree turn... yep, two full revolutions without hitting the guard rail or anybody else! Wow, what superior driving skills

Ah winter driving 
Any time the weather changes here in Kansas City all the drivers go into a wide-eyed panic mode. Snow? What's that? Oh my goodness, what's that coming from the sky? Rain? What do I do now?
Heh heh, I've seen my share of cars spinning and plowing into snowbanks. People don't ever learn how to drive in bad weather; or if they do, they never seem to remember what they learned last year!
I'm still learning how to maneuver on snow, but I think I'll really get the hang of it this year. Watch out, everyone!

When I lived in Mpls, I personally had about a dozen accidents, one was a single-car wreck and three were my fault (rear ended someone sliding on ice). A few 360s and several 180s. And I'm one of the good drivers.
No injuries; and no accidents since I moved to Kansas. :p
