So around five years ago, I was living in Canberra and it was around 11 p.m. at night, almost 12. And me and my boyfriend at the time decided to go and get McDonald's, like a drive through McDonald's. I don't know why. I think we just were like we'd watched a movie. We were still awake. We really felt like, honestly, that's just a silly detail. You don't need to know that.

We go through this drive-thru, we pull out and we pull into this like four-way intersection with two lanes going either way. We pull up to the light, there are no other cars around, we're listening to music and the light for me to turn right at this intersection goes green and I'm sitting there and I just don't go forward and my boyfriend at the time looks at me and goes, what are you doing? Like,

probably around 100 kilometers an hour ran the red light and would have completely hit us it would have hit us and it probably would have killed us and right behind it these three to four cop cars pull onto the road and are chasing it and we are just sitting in the car and i'm just like holy crap If I had pulled out onto that road, we would have died. We would have died.

This car would have hit us directly where him and I were sitting and it would have just been the end. And that's like we literally pulled over and we're just like in shock. Like I cannot even explain that feeling of just being like, wow.

and later that then we called our friend I don't even know what happened I think we like texted our friends and we're like you're not going to believe what just happened and they go on the news and they go into like our local news page in Canberra and there's a car that has been like in pursuit by the police and an hour later like it's been basically it's a high-speed chase and

I don't know what it was in that moment when, you know, I'm in the car listening to music and the light turns green and I see it turn green and I did not go. And some part of me says that was just intuition. The thing is, I'm quite a scientific person. I love the science. I love the evidence. And for a while I was really trying to find an answer because how do we explain moments like that?
