Years of gamer like reflexes have finally paid off folks
The title may seem click-baity but let me walk you through an incident I almost had.
I was driving down the highway doing 120 KPH when suddenly the car in front of me slammed the brakes. Apparently a total dumb 🤬 decided he is going to make that u-turn and literally cut through two lanes perpendicularly. I slammed my brakes as well, but I knew it was too late and braced for an expensive crash. However, an instinct kicked in and instead of just slamming the brakes and hoping for the best, I let off the pedal for a bit and swerved into the small gap between the car infront and the concrete barrier (some moose challenge stuff) and I somehow avoided the car in front (just a very very minor scratch that went away with a towel). The funny thing is, the guy behind me pulled up next to me and applauded the evasive action and gave me a thumbs up.
This is mainly I feel down to the years of gaming with a wheel and the strong reflexes of a gamer and someone who's done some track driving before.
Thought this was a neat story and I'll be interested in hearing other stories where you avoided an incident using lightning fast reflexes you never knew you had.
Oh and I suppose kudos to the Fiesta for having a lovely chassis
