Scary Driving

Stan4dSteph · 08-03-2007, 08:01 AM

On the road up to Pasadena right outside the outlet mall that looks like a cheesy castle. Someone had stopped in the left hand lane for no reason, immediately backing up the traffic. For some reason I didn't notice, and had to brake hard and swerve to the right to avoid hitting the stopped line of cars. Somehow I managed to guide the vehicle between the cars to the left and right.

I had to get off the freeway for a little while to let the adrenaline get out of my system.

The cheesy castle was the Samson Tire and Rubber Company.

I was driving on highway 38 near big bear when it started to snow. I pulled over at a turnout in a curve to let some people pass. I pulled off the road a bit too quick ( I didn't want to slow down the people behind me), and hit an ice patch. The only thing that kept us from going off the edge and off a cliff (no guard rails), was a sign post that I hit. I was a bit shaky after that.
