How do you not say a long list of known and a few made up unknown cuss words during something like that?

Nice no overreaction on drivers behalf though.

That no overreaction probably saved the drivers life too. There was a bit of luck involved to, such as there was a clear path to go but still split second decision and prefect reaction.

Sweet piece of driving and a good amount of luck that there was no one tailgating that truck.

I've had a couple similar situations that I only made it through with driving skills, lotsa luck and not over reacting.

Yeah, I'd have crapped my pants for sure.

Edit: I actually had a similar experience when I was a police office. An overpass on I-440 had frozen over and I was placing flares to warn traffic. The overpass was banked for a bit of a curve, and traffic couldn't see far enough ahead to see the accidents. As I bent over to place a flare on the ground I slid on the ice in the path of an oncoming tractor-trailer. I used my fingernails to claw myself back out of the way and the truck barely missed me. Yes, I had to change my shorts.

the way the driver handled the situation made me wonder IF he/she might've been law enforcement

I have thought about it, and even though I consider myself a better then average driver, I do not believe I would have made the correct decision. I probably would have become a statistic.
