no situations like close calls or even near death, but situations that made me wonder about premonitions.
as a more scientifically inclined person, and not supersticious at all, i think those feelings of something bad lying ahead is your subconscious being more apt at registering and evaluating stimuli in a given situation than your conscious mind is.
you might be consciously thinking about what to have for dinner while driving home back from work and at the same time you subconsciously notice the cat climbing up that lose branch of the old tree by the crosswalk.
it triggers the feeling of something bad ahead, you slow down or stop altogether just in time before the branch comes crashing down.

^That’s pretty fascinating lecroute. I do believe there is a lot of deductive reasoning going on also but then sometimes there’s just this flat out knowing.
Lately I have not been trusting myself. Some premonitions could be just some of my jadedness coming to the surface. But I have to learn to trust myself. But like everyone else, when I see the dark clouds coming, I know it’s gonna rain

Yeah, some people do be surfing on da waves. I call it the synchronicity.

I remember (again) a situation when I was 9 years old. It was summer break, and me and this other girl were on an empty school yard presuming to play tennis when I suddenly felt as if something was about to happen. Seconds later my friend asked if we could go home because she had suddenly a bad feeling.
We left both immediately.
Nothing really happened, as far as I know.
But maybe it would have, had we stayed?

I can tell when there are cops on the highway, either driving or sitting off the road. It started as a bad feeling but through experience I knew it meant cops ahead - or behind - and I know to slow down. Could well be I notice something about the way people are driving on a subconscious level, as @lecroute mentioned.
Intuition the name we give to the human capacity to process subjective data that often combines a mixture of perception, experience, expectation, understanding of context, and reading of how a shift can reflect a change between some of these factors.
To use @fairnymph 's example - I might have had prior experience of driving along the highway at a certain time of the month, during a certain time of the year, on a certain night of the week, and particular hours of the night, to expect more police presence, especially when it's springtime and a game is happening in the city, and we're close to the weekend, and people have seemed more prone to drinking/driving lately based on recently observed swerving behavior I"ve noted over the past few weeks....
I can both rightly assume that police are also keying into these factors, AND, I'm more apt to note that I was correct to myself when I finally do pass police, thus further reinforcing whatever pattern and context I'd noted as being representative of an accurate predictive pattern. While I couldn't sit there and watch a video of the same traffic flow at random and likely predict whether it would be a night more likely to have police out, sitting within it and having sat within it more and more times previously will make me more apt to notice it.
Also, If I'm someone who believes that I'm capable of this type of predictive pattern recognition and intuition might make me better at it than someone who thinks about things through primarily an objective or sensing style of mentation.
This type of mentation is reflected by xN/Sxx in the Meyers Briggs Type Index, with N representing intuition whereas S represents sensing (reasoning based on what is directly observable in the moment rather than relying on ones gut or deduction of what's probable).

I’m 100% iNtuition, so yep, I agree. I should note that my cop radar works on roads that I have never driven on before in places I am visiting for the first time. So it’s not just experience with the area. In fact that doesn’t seem to be a factor at all.
Likewise. As you and I have well established - we may not agree with one another on certain issues, we very much understand one another's way of seeing things.
