I think the mysterious telephone call Gatsby receives from Chicago and Philadelphia (in chapter 9) about Gatsby foreshadowing not only his demise but Gatsby's secrets coming out and hence the end of the story.

Jordan and Nick discuss bad drivers both in Chapter 3 and Chapter 9. This directs directly to Daisy hitting and killing Myrtle in Gatsby's car.
