reason #4082 I hate driving in Atlanta
I was driving down 85 yesterday evening when a tanker a couple of cars in front of me decided to switch into my lane. I had to hit my brakes...
...and my car started skidding everywhere. Out of control. All over the place.
Through what I have decided is divine intervention, I managed to regain control of the car and keep going, albeit nearly in tears.
...Oh, and all this happened while I was on the phone. No, the phone isn't why it happened, before you start on me. But I'm told it was pretty disturbing to suddenly hear me screaming hysterically.

My last close-call similar to yours was when I was going down to San Diego. I hit the I-15/215 split north of San Bernadino at about 100-105mph and some SUV had the gall to pull into my lane doing about 75. (Needless to say, I survived but I let him have it.)
