S2000 Brakes saved me from Fatal accident
OK,
So im driving home from a long long unnecessarily long friday at work
top down of course (beautiful day out)
went thru downtown tunnel coming from portsmouth
im in the 2nd lane from the left going about 65 toward va beach on i-264 East
i see some chick in a gold car hauling ass in the all the way right lane
going maybe 85 or maybe 90
i switch lanes to the next right lane and im in between 2 trucks
and not even 10 seconds later out of nowhere!
the same chick comes speeding and screeching tires across ALL of the lanes to the left towards the barrier
i pushed the brake hard as hell i was very very close to hitting her
drivers side rear of the car and the truck to the left hit her rear and stopped
and if i would of it would have been a very very bad day for me
probably would have spun out and got hit a couple times in convertible mode = very bad
but it scared the living crap out of me
didn't stop to check if she was ok but i saw that there
was already police pulling up to her shortly after
be careful out there!
check tire pressures, don't get distracted while driving, watch your speed
and always be alert.

glad we're not hearing another "just wrecked my S" story.great job on the quick reaction.Be agressive and expect people to do the dumbest shit...cause most times they usually will.Thats my motto!
