It doesn't help to get there fast if you don't get there alive. Sounds trite but it's true. I deliver lost luggage part time. When I first started I wasn't a very good driver, and I was also in a hurry all the time because there is a lot of pressure to meet deadlines. One day I tried to pass a semi on I-215 because my lane was going away and I wanted to get in front of the semi. Just as I got ahead of the semi and started to change lanes, without enough extra room, a guy in a white SUV from the lane on the other  side of the semi changed lanes and left me with nowhere to go. The next thing I remember is ending up on the shoulder on the other side of the highway going the opposite direction. The semi had bumped me (or I bumped him) and I flew across 2 lanes and changed directions, luckily without anyone else hitting me. The semi and the SUV both kept going. I escaped with a nice dent on my rear passenger side fender. I refer to that day as the day I hit the semi. It was 5 years ago and I still don't like to think or talk about it. But since that day I have been a much better driver.
