The sound of tires screeching over pavement is like none other, instantly recognizable and totally unique. It’s an uncomfortable sound, like nails going down the chalkboard but with more violent results. It’s the sound of impending doom, chaos, uncertainty, and it makes your skin crawl. You instantly freeze up in anticipation of a violent crash whenever you hear tires screeching. It’s not a happy noise. You’re acutely aware that is the last sound that thousands of people hear right before they die. More times than not, screeching tires just mean that a car is slowing down. But every once in a while it’s the sound that foreshadows a tragedy.
