I watched it about 20 times on that section. He panic'd and locked up the brakes. I can't tell really how fast we was traveling but I feel I could have not only swerved but layed on the horn as i did it. I dunno things like that happen really fast on the road so its easy to say you would do this or that lol. Either way I wouldn't have put myself in his situation in the first place. I'd be shaking my head as I watched him pass me.
