My biggest "Oh s**t" moment had to be while in Toronto with friends a few years ago (This is before the Focus & GPS)
I'm driving along one of the roads with streetcar tracks (King Street IIRC) I have my passengers yammering driving instructions in my ear and I'm lost to boot...
Notice I said streetcar tracks? Sure enough there's a streetcar there and the damn thing has its doors open to offload passengers! I slam on the brakes and glare at my passengers as I see the cop coming up to the car and I'm going in my head "Oh f**k, how many points is it for failing to stop behind a street car with its doors open again?"
I hand my papers to the officer figuring I'm toast and the cop goes to his cruiser and returns a few minutes later and gives me a lecture but lets me off with a warning...
Needless to say I made it a rule after that in my car... No talking at me while I'm trying to following driving directions! <_<
