Take it from an expert ...ME!!! I drive these things for a living what shiloh saw was called over swing ...try not too lose me here. The rear tandems (those are the wheels in the back) are on a track they move forward and backward depending on the weight and too maneuver in tight spaces. His were all the way forward leaving about 15 feet of over swing when the driver turned right his rear end kicked left in front of shiloh and there you have a panic stop. Good job btw dude

swerving is a terrible idea in that situation. fortunately, your panic instinct worked. when you swerve, a lot of the traction used for stopping goes into turning. had you swerved, gaurantee you would have hit it.
There are always gonna be stupid drivers out there. If you ask someone whos never been in an accident they'll give you 3 reasons. 1) I pay attention to what I'm doing, 2) I pay attention to what everyone ELSE is doing and pretend they're out to kill me, and 3) Ive been lucky

(I went there lol), but then again I'm sure that little Yota' would have been in VERY VERY bad shape afterwards too.
