I had two of them in the span of 24 hours.
First one was last night. Was returning to office after dinner. There's a little sand on the road just before the office parking lot. Was riding at around 40-45, when I noticed a CBZ rider coming towards the main road, perpendicular to me. Grabbed at my front brake, and immediately felt the front wheel start to skid. I let go and applied the rear brakes. The bike was still skidding and on a collision course with the CBZ. I thought, "Blurr's gonna get it :-((". Luckily for us, the CBZ dude stopped letting me ride on to safety. Bless him! :-)
The second one was today. Another early day in office. Had to be in by 9:30 am. I was on my way to office at that time, riding in a hurry. There was this lady in a Maruti 800, riding at a sedate pace, blocking up all of the road. That was really irritating. Was about to overtake her, when I noticed her brake lights go on. In a split second, I grabbed the front brake. Tires squealed, the rear left the ground for a split second, Blurr stopped a safe distance behind the car. Realized that there was this dumb dude on a CD100 riding on the wrong side of the road. No comments on idiotic riders.
