- Latest Review: "The Reich Device" by Richard D. Handy
I was driving on the highway in heavy snow and slush, before the snow plows had made it out. There were two tire-tracks through each lane, with slush between them, and the trick is to stay in the tracks. I drifted out, hit the slush in the middle, and started to skid.
I knew that, to control a skid, you turn in the same direction that you're skidding, but I was in the left lane of the highway and skidding to the right, into a lane of traffic. In what was probably the most attentive moment of my life, I actually *looked* before turning, and saw the 18-wheeler in exactly the spot that I was going to skid into.
So I figure, I can have the car under control and drive into the truck, or I can get away from the truck, but I'll lose control of the car and start skidding wildly.
I didn't even try to steer. I spun the wheel to the left as far as it would go, and threw the car into the median. It spun completely around and ended up buried up to the windshield in snow, facing backwards, but safely in the median.
The weird thing is, I felt completely calm the entire time. Just, "oh, hmm...That's a lot of snow."
I feel like I was drinking tea the whole time, but then, 10 minutes later, I noticed I had bruises where my leg must have hit the cup holder. I don't remember that at all.
