Since I was switching lane I'm suppose to spend up alittle bit, not to cut off the car I'm switching in front of. So I was going up to 40, when about 15-20ft away the truck was verring into my lane. Trust me 40mph is fast and 15-20ft distance apart does not give me enough time to brake and save my ass. My only reaction was brake and steer onto the island. If I just braked my car would have skid and hit more than just his side.
In the end, once I hit him my car was off to the side and on the island, saving my car from getting rear ended.
Oh yea when I mentioned "really really slowly"....picture a deer walking onto the road 15ft away and as your doing the speed limit your trying you best not to hit it....thats how it was with this pickup.
