Had my nephew's birthday party to go to today in Masterton. On the way back to the Mother-in-law's near Carterton there are two 90 degree bends at Clareville. As we came around the first one a fairly new Nissan came over the centreline and straight for us, not gradually mind, but very, very rapidly. He/she/it (couldn't tell because the head was below steering wheel level) was either asleep or grovelling for a cellphone on the floor of their car.
Heather and I had discussed this particular situation repeatedly and she was driving in this instance. She nailed it and headed for the verge. Which was perfect because if she'd done the standards approved panic stop the dude would have hit us head-on. She said after she was prepared to risk going through the fence and into the paddock to avoid the head-on, and was aiming for a gap between posts.
Isn't she brilliant?
