Never been in one, but had one pretty close call.

I had been driving for less than 6 months and it was pouring rain. As I was driving down the interstate's 2 way access road, I caught glimpse of a stop sign at the last second, and without any antilock brakes I slid right through the intersection.

Luckily there were no cars, so I wiped my forhead and went on my way.

A few seconds later I see a pair of headlights coming towards me and realize that the road had switched from 2 way to 1 way and I was driving into oncoming traffic. I managed to pull off the road (nearly getting stuck in the mud) and get my car pointing the correct way.
