My dad was a company man in the oilfield, watching after several rigs & ran just over 100,000 miles up on his car one year. He didnt obey the speed limit much. One night he saw an object in the road & couldnt miss it completely, so he decided to take it dead center, so he wouldnt risk getting flipped. It was an 18wheelers spare, rim & tire, all aired up.That thing went up under the car, lifting the front tires off the ground. The sidewall of a truck tire offers a lot of traction & he said the car stopped, REAL QUICK!! Tore the heck outta the front end (suspension,steering). IIRC, he had to get another car.

Bringing the Matrix home last night I saw something in the road & was glad I had no oncoming so I could swerve wide. When I got about 50 feet away it became clear enough. Some guy was just bent over & appeared to be tying a shoe. Wadda Maroon! Dark clothes, stopped, in the road, IJJITT!

Riding to work one day two years ago.

This small pick-up with an old guy in, going about same speed as me (50'ish) all of a sudden he slows way down. Well, I go from the comfortable 2 second spacing to "too close" real fast. I'm trying to get some distance between us again when ..... from under the center of truck comes a freshly run over ground-hog. At 30-40'ish, you have no time...... I ran over it ... dead center of the tire, direct hit .... I was off the seat only a few inches but it felt like those extreme motocross jumps you see on TV. Somehow I came back down and the bike just wobbled a little as I got my senses. WTF went thru my mind..... and the "I'm alive" thought we've all had.

Got that right! Young girl was walking down the sidewalk and when I looked back at traffic it had stopped and I went down in a panic stop.
