oh that noise, and the mini heart attack

Just watched this video




Something similar happened to me a while back. I was driving down a town road, doing about 50kmh when the light changes to red. I brake (moderately hard, but nothing too extreme) to stop for the light. When I'm almost stopped, I hear incredibly loud squealing noises from the tires from the car behind me, who obviously wasn't paying attention to the road and emergency braking. My first reflex was to twist the throttle and run the red light (small intersection, nothing happened).

but what a dumbass driver behind me. Don't know how close I actually was to being rear ended, didn't check the mirrors just got the hell out of the way. I think the xbow driver doesn't know the fear of hearing a noise like that when you are on your bike

I certainly almost had a heart attack. (although the lock up in the video is way shorter and quieter what happened in my situation, hearing it midcorner must still be pretty scary)
