i ran over a chair a few weeks ago. i couldnt swerve since there were cars on both sides and i couldnt brake since it was raining and i would have started slipping.

Try looking and time yourself ahead so then you would have better chances of avoiding things like that. Give it a shot.

I've hit two tires at night, one in cali and one in illinois. Those stupid trucks need to get their tires replaced BEFORE they bust open. Oh and last night there was a metal hammer on the road with the sharp side up.

Hmmm...ok another solution. Call me crazy if you end up doing what I do at most. Whenever you drive on freeways like that, I always look what is ahead of a few vehicles. Placing my wheels along the lines, it causes other drivers to think that I'm either going to change lanes or end up swiping them, of course I'm not, it just looks like it. You may end up being apart from the cars aside of you from 6 to 11 inches but hey, you get a little better view to see what is ahead rather than not any. Another thing, if its not a truck, use the eyes of the drivers ahead of you, if you want to know what I mean by that, basically look through their windshield and the other car ahead of theirs or continue to predict of what they'll do. Always keep your mind clicking. I just hope this'll help ya out.

Last time I was in my 5 with my gf. I was on the left lane on 10, a porsche was at the back, and I hate to see those headlights on my rear mirror, so I changed lane let the porsche pass. After that, I went back to left lane again. And suddenly the porsche braked like crazy, I thought I wouldn't have enough distance to make a stop, so I turned on the right lane. But the SUV on the front also braked like crazy, and I saw a SUV bumper was on the middle of the two lanes!!! My car was drifting... good thing is I didn't hit the bumper.

Miscalculations can cause an accident and majority number of the time, my calculations are mostly right, very slight chance that I might be off, it took me 2 months to get it and I had been driving like this for the past 4 1/2 years. So don't worry about it.
