In my case I had lots of space between me and the car in front, but
the SUV shot out of a parking lot driveway with all 4
spinning/burning. I had just enough time to get my foot on the
brake.12 feet of skid marks means I didn't slow down very much before
I hit him broad side. He was going fast enough that it spun me CCW
and I ended up in a parking lot on the other side of the road.

I really do believe in defensive driving. :-))


Well, that's quite a bit different, I'd say. It is however, the one time you
don't want ABS so they can measure.

12 feet of skid - At 40 mph that's probably .5 seconds from cognition to
impact.

You should probably get that bull's-eye painted over, too.
