English term or phrase: blows by
After a beat, she sighs, puts on a pair of big, designer sunglasses and starts to back out of the driveway. As she nears the end, a shiny BMW sports car blows by on the road behind her, music blaring, causing her to stop short.
She takes a deep breath, crosses herself, looks both ways, and continues out onto the street.
