It is unlikely, yet three people on this newsgroup have had it happen
to them, so it can't be too unlikely.

It's also statistically unlikely that you will die in an automobile
crash, yet you seem to prepare for that.

As I've previously stated on this, she was drivng on the way to her
own baby shower.  She was heavily engrossed in conversation with her
passenger and came to a complete stop.  She then accelerated into me
after having come to a complete stop.  We were at a traffic light.

As with Chuck's, there was no damage to either vehicle.
