Just reading that story makes me want to go and have a little something to calm my nerves.

Reminds me a bit of the time I was overtaking a panel van at about 130 kph on a main road, but out in the country. He suddenly decided to park on the gravel verge on the right side of the road. I went round him in the gravel, started going very sideways as I tried to regain the tar, as soon as the front wheels hit the tar the car fishtailed and I started going sideways on the tar, I felt the car start to tip so I straightened up and dived straight off the road into the scrub. Fortunately it was only light scrub and the vehicle showed absolutly no sign of damage. My lucky day.

For my pains I was then roundly abused by the other driver who had not used his indicators or seen me coming.
