Had a black cat run across the road in front of my car yesterday morning on my way to work. I didn't hit it, but I'm wondering if this counts as a bad omen or if that's just an old superstition. Should I be worried about something happening?
That's just superstition - there's no actual connection between seeing a black cat and bad luck. The real thing that mattered here is that you didn't hit it, which means you were paying attention to the road and reacted safely. If you're worried about something bad happening because of it, that's anxiety talking, not reality. Keep driving normally and don't let an old myth get in your head.
Don't let this distract you from actual road safety - fixating on superstitions can pull your focus away from what really matters when driving. Black cats have zero connection to accidents or misfortune; the superstition is ancient folklore with no basis in reality. What actually counts is what you did right: you stayed alert enough to notice the cat and avoid hitting it. Keep that same awareness on the road going forward, and you'll be fine.
