MaczPayne's Turbo II

[Max777]

damn.... that blows. I used to swerve to avoid small stuff like squirrels when I first started to drive. After a few near accidents, I told myself that my life is more important, and that the next time I should NOT make a sudden move if I see something small on the road.

I was driving home late at night one night, going about 85mph on a 2 lane highway, and a possum walked right out on the road. I just slightly moved the steering wheel so that the possum would end up in the middle of my car, and ran over it without hitting the brakes... a couple thuds and we just kept going.

Scared the crap out of me to be honest, but I keep thinking about what would happen if I didn't train myself beforehand.


PS: I'm not a very experience driver, but I see a lot of talented people make the same mistake as the thread starter. Practice for things like this should be included in basic driver's training.
