General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I don't believe in an after-life, and I didn't read the original thread, but I've caught the gist of this.

A few years ago, I was driving home from work up a road very close to where I live. Cars were parked up both sides and at that time it was a 30mph speed limit. I was driving slower than that, aware that somebody could step out from between the cars at any given moment.

Suddenly, my dad's voice came into my head and it said: "MOLL CAREFUL!"

Within a split second I changed down gear and put my brakes on. I didn't know why, but a tiny toddler ran out right in front of me. He could only have been about 2/3 years old - no more than that, but luckily I was able to stop. The father ran into the road and scooped him up and apologised to me and asked if I was alright! He'd taken his eyes off him for just a second and the kiddy had escaped.

If I'd been one of these stupid boy racers that child would have been dead. I don't attribute the fact that I heard my dad's voice in my head. I attribute it to the fact that when he was teaching me to drive in the 60s he'd "forewarned" me then that this sort of thing could happen, and that day I just knew something would happen. 6th sense.
