Yesterday on the way to work there was a State Trooper on the right shoulder. He had someone pulled over with his lights flashing. We have a "move over or slow down" law if you are in the adjacent lane. I was in the middle lane (they call that the crush lane!) and a big rig was in the right lane just ahead and beside me. I figured he was going to move over on me. In front of me was a whit F-150 and I had a safe distance. So I am watching the rig and he does NOT change lanes OR slow down as he passes the trooper. Instead, the F-150 in front of me locks his brakes because the car in front of the rig cut him off. I pulled the clutch and squeezed the front and rear brakes at the same time and felt the front started to slither around so I let off slightly and got back on again. I got stopped no problems and still had a good 15 feet to the truck. I didn't know the Kat could lock the front at 70mph!
Whew. Lucked out this time.
