he never really started the turn. I was gonna say target fixation but I dunno. Lapse of focus maybe. I've had it happen to me before and you just go wide... Good recovery of getting out of the way after that though.

Holy Sh*t. Was it his tire screetching and if so do you think he had the front locked up there? Talk about split second decision making.

EDIT: Anyone questioning his squidliness should watch the complete version. I didnt watch all 30+ minutes but the first 30 seconds should cover it.
