[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1070877"] So we're driving east on 40 from Ocala this evening. 16ft gooseneck stock trailer with a good sized heifer in it, doin about 65. Suddenly this el Camino pulls out in front of all 14k lbs I'm in control of. I slam the breaks on and she keeps in front me and I just know I'm gonna hit her at about 50mph. I start steering over into the suicide lane to avoid her and she moves further in front of me. I end up in oncoming lane. An oncoming SUV sees this all happening and gets over just in time for me to squeeze through the gap but I was still waiting for the impact from the right. At this point I was down to maybe 45. I don't know how but I missed her. This whole thing took all of 2 seconds. Once past her (she is swerving all over and doing maybe 20 mph) I look back an she's now swerving in the shoulder. I pull over, let her past, and as she goes by she has this blank look like she doesn't even see anything. I lay on the throttle to catch up, get the plate and as she turns on a side street I get the street name. Called it in to 911. Someone sure was watching over is today. I haven't ever had such a close call but she would have been mush had I hit her. I kept waiting for the trailer to roll or jack knife, an impact...anything. It's almost like it was an impossibility that I missed her. I still don't know how [/QUOTE]
