BAM! Ummm, can I get your information?

So, I was driving home from work after picking up my partner from their work when a car darted in front of me and BAM! EXPLOSION! JAMES BOND! (Just kidding, there was no explosion). After pulling over and exchanging info, I sat and waited for the cops to come. Thoughts ran through my mind and one stuck enough to write it down.

Isn't it interesting how one simple decision can change your day? The decision of left, right, up down, this way or that can change your day completely... It could have been a day without interaction with this person, I would have never crossed passed with him, I could have just ended up at home, I could have gone a different way, I could have let my partner drive possibly miss him by several seconds (minutes even), I could have not made this a run on sentence - could have, would have, should have -

What could have happened?
