I had my daugher in a stroller in Central Park NYC, and was crossing the park drive, a yellow taxi came around a corner at approximately 35-45 mph and was at least 75 ft away from me when the driver applied his brakes - he would have hit us head on. The car lurched to a stop 25 ft away from us - I think his brakes locked but I'm not sure (nyc cabs have the worst brakes on them from wear and tear), at the moment I saw the car rounding the corner I was prepared to die because I was frozen but something in my mind said stop.
The cab seemed to hit a brick wall and actually shut off and stalled, the driver had trouble re-starting the car and I walked off with my daughter without a care in the world - still alive and not even shaken. This happened at least 12 yrs ago.
Scientist and mathematicians work out the distances and speed for me and see if it's possible that maybe the guy was a good driver with excellent reflexes.
