My mom was driving in an unfamiliar city, missed a turn, and didn’t realize the two-lane road we’d been on was one way. So she gets back on it the wrong way, and I notice a car is coming directly at us in the same lane (a holy shit moment), which quickly swerved over. But my mom made the correct turn and didn’t even realize what had happened.
Edit: this was a buried memory until the moment I saw this headline. Actually went and found the road online, and the one way signs are pretty tiny. I remember it was night time, so I kind of understand how she missed it.
