...Well for me anyway!

I was driving to work - M4, westbound. Just passed junction 33, and ended up behind a small van which was travelling at a decent speed, but not the full limit. I let go of the accelerator and let the car distance itself from the van, whilst thinking to myself "What if his tyre bursts?" I cant say what made me think this to myself - I naturally keep a 2 second distance from the vehicle in front anyhow. Either way, what happens next couldnt have been made up.

The van starts 'leaning' to the side - it goes into the middle lane to overtake someone, and as he speeds up, boom! His tyre rips off leaving a dark, muddy-coloured cloud, and bits of rubber flying outwards. He luckily manages to get to the hard shoulder without losing control of the vehicle, leaving people in the leftmost lane to have to carefully move around the remains of the tyre, as it carried on with its momentum. For the rest of the journey to work, I was gobsmacked. The one time ive ever pictured the vehicle in front's tyres bursting (ive never seen it happen before), and next thing, it actually happens.

Before you look at me weird - no, I dont think im phychic! Just, the word 'coincidence', for me, has been completely defined.
