I was going to ski club on some big bus ( not a school bus) and a small box truck swerved over 4 lanes and almost swiped us... After that, the bus drier was paranoid and was constantley yelling at srivers and honking the horn :D

Well in London when I was 7 we were in a multi car pile up, drunk driver in a Volvo took out three cars, we were just scraped. This Volvo driver emerged with beer still in hand. Two people died in their cars, full view of me.
Second I was hit by a car at 5mph in a car park, knocked to my knees and scraped my hands, knees and face. B!cth drove off.
Third a Clio took out our coach and two other vehicles. I was the only person injured in the coach as the car hit below where I was sitting.

I was sitting by the front window while my dad was jean shopping and some old guy mistook the accelerator for the brake and I ended up with little bits of safety glass in my shoes. Came within inches of my little brother.

Multiple times;

When i was 13 i was in a head on collision in the front seat of my family's old minivan and both me and my mom (and the person in the other car) walked away with just bruises from the airbags.

A few years ago i was taking photos of the yellow Plymouth Prowler on my profile and a Range Rover drove by so close to me, his mirror slid across my back while he was going semi-fast (about 25).

Last year at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix, there was an E-Type way up in the distance at a red light and he was next to a D-type that was in the car show and i really wanted a photo of both together so i ran as fast as i could all the way down the street to get the photo and then jumped in the street to get closer not knowing there was a prius driving in the street so i jumped into the street in front of it (didn't see it) and he hit the back of my leg as i was crossing over to the E-Type but i just slid across the hood of the Prius and got the photo of the E-Type in time.

Last Friday at this year's Watkins Glen Grand Prix, i was across the street looking at some Lotuses when i saw a Shelby Cobra pulling into a driveway so i wanted to get closer to it to get some photos but the traffic was dense so i started crossing in front of a Semi-Truck to go over there and there was an R32 skyline driving on the other side that didn't see me because of the truck and he almost ran right over my foot but i jumped out of the way in time to not get hit and get a front and back picture of the Skyline and the Cobra.

Only time I can think of is in Charlotte last December...I was shooting a 2014 Bentley Continental GTC V8 in front of a restaurant in a plaza, and this first generation Cadillac SRX turned towards the restaurant. I thought they would stop and let me finish the picture (it was night, so I had to lay on the ground to keep the camera still) but they kept driving closer and closer until I had to jump up and basically dive out of the way to keep from getting run over. Other than that, the only issues I've had carspotting was when I almost got arrested at a mall once for walking around in the parking lot.

you're in the middle of the driving path, at night, lying on the ground. what could go wrong?

Well the picture could come out blurry despite my efforts to still the camera for one...
