I almost got hit by a drunk/distracted driver a week ago. I forgot to post about it.
I was on my way to pick my sister up from somewhere. It was dusk. I was on a two lane highway with no shoulders. That road is in the middle of the woods, so the sides of the road are thick with trees and/or deep ditches. I came over a hill and maybe 200-400ft in front of me there was a beige Jeep Grand Cherokee driving on the wrong side of the road coming at me. His right wheels were on the center line. I hit the brakes and leaned on the horn. Luckily he swerved over right away and passed me. I watched him go over the hill in my mirror and he was still partly driving on the center line. If he had hit me I would've been completely screwed. I didn't have my phone on me because my sister had it. After I picked her up and got back on that same highway a cop passed me. I was kind of mad because if he had been there 10 minutes earlier he could have gone after the guy.
If he didn't respond to me honking I would have had to either jump off the road and hit a tree (possibly rolling the van over), hit him head on, or get in the wrong lane and possibly sideswipe him. The last option would have definitely been the best.
Here's an illustration, the black dot is the Jeep
Has anyone had a similar experience?
