I was just sitting in my seat, playing with my cell phone in Ramat Gan today, when I looked up, and the bus window was heading for a cement truck support. I casually thought, wow he's getting really close, when bam! The bus driver underestimated how far away the truck was and it hit the window, shattering glass all over me. 
This is the fourth traffic accident I've been in since arriving in Israel, plus so many more that I've seen from the bus or walking by. It's true that more Israelis have died from traffic accidents than all of the terrorism and wars combined. The greatest threat for Israel: Israeli drivers.
