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.

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.
