When you see something in your path and you make a sudden move to avoid it, or you see someone else's sudden move and think, 'That was a close call.'

I saw a deer and almost hit it. I swerved like a lunatic.

I saw some skid-marks and thought, 'That guy was lucky he didn't crash.'

I saw a car swerve and almost hit a pole. I thought, 'That was a mess.'
