What was the first danger encountered by the turtle when it started out across the highway?

When the turtle in "The Turtle," which is written by Samantha Santana first starts out across the highway, it has no idea about the things that may lie ahead; some of the things that lie ahead for this turtle are dangerous. One of the first dangers the turtle experiences is traffic. In fact, the turtle is almost hit by a car as it first starts out across the highway-a sedan.
