Had a really crazy near miss yesterday - worst one I've ever had as it was the first time I was thinking "oh c**p, I'm going to have a really serious crash now!"

Had to brake really hard going downhill round a bend on a greasy road and somehow stopped just short - thank god for all the electronics in our cars!

It wasn't the greasy-ness that was the real problem though to be fair, it was the idiot who pulled out of a side turning at a snail's pace and straight into the right lane, when the left was totally clear.

Don't think I've ever felt the EBD actually working before though, so nice to know it actually works Smile
