I had a smiliar experience years ago. I was waiting my turn to get onto the freeway. I saw an insulation truck go by on the road below, complete with
pink panther rolls. I didn't pay much attention to it. It was my turn so I accelerated down the ramp and merged at about 60mph. Traffic was light. I
was going up a hill and saw a car in my lane in the distance. I did not realize that it was completely stopped. It was a cadillac that had high
centered on a roll of insulation dropped by the truck. By the time I realized what I was up against I was hurtling toward the fin of the cadillac.
Closing speed was VERY fast. i slammed on the brakes and threw the car, a small datsun B210, into a slide with my driver's door headed toward the
fin. I jerked the wheel left and whipped around the caddy in the side line, to the right of the fog line, flew back into my lane, and continued going
at 50-60mph down the freeway. I must have been half an inch from the caddy as I flew past.
Don't know to this day how I made it around. I either accidentally did everything exactly right, or I had some sort of help.
