Default Spring back road safety

So, driving down a back road, nice day, top is down.
Come up a steep hill and this big farm implement with a large tractor, taking up both sides of the road, is on the other side.
Doing the speed limit, fortunately. Hit my new BBK full on and look towards the ditch. The farmer heads right and the big spikes on the equipment are pointed at my head.
Somehow, we didn't make contact.
Thanks to Stoptech for the brakes and the sticky tires.
I guess the Lord don't want me dead yet.

Watch the spring back roads. The farmers are planting and driving big wide equipment down country roads.

Glad you're ok.
Being impaled by that thing would be gruesome.

Glad you're okay Robin. Did the hard braking leave any "skid marks"?
