With the poorly trained drivers on the road today, you never know. A few years ago, I was exiting a highway onto a one way street using the single lane off ramp. Some older lady was coming right at me determined to get onto the highway I was leaving. I honked, slammed on my brakes, and she pulled off to the side and stopped. I passed her and continued on. As I looked into my rear view mirror, I noticed that she then proceeded onward and...actually entered the highway! She ended up going the wrong way on a highway.
Just to clarify, she had to: Travel almost 3/4 of a mile on a one way street with "Wrong Way" signs posted the whole way, ignore someone honking at her who was getting off the highway, come to a complete stop, and then proceed into oncoming traffic moving in her direction at 65 mph.
Always assume someone somewhere is going the wrong way on a one way street because it happens.

Dang.
First, I'm glad you're ok. Second, that determination (or stupidity) is amazing.
