d)Riderless horses running for what ever reason. One of my very few near-death experiences driving was in my old BMW 2002, on a deserted road in northern New Mexico, almost falling asleep at the wheel, and coming up over a rise to find a horse in the road in front of me.
I hit the brakes so hard, the rear of the car lifted off the road and started to bounce from side to side, with me cranking the wheel opposite the bounce to keep the front pointed forward. Lucky I didn't roll it, which at 80-90mph, would have sucked. I was plenty awake for the rest of the drive.

Scary. A 2002, old though? (I have an 86 and a 00. hanging my head in shame:')

Yes, its hard to fall asleep with your shorts full and the aroma that accompanies a near death experience like that.
