Or I could always take my chances flying over the car that I hit.
You may avoid that car by veering to your right and so passing him on his left. But can you avoid the car in it's legal lane behind him?
And if/when there is a cc down the centre as well, you've lost that direction as a possibility...we know that the wire fence will distort into your lane as much as 3m, so you can now choose...1. Into the car (wrapped in cc) or 2. Left and into the line of posts/wire down the road edge.
Lovely choice. Sucks to be you.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
