Most of the worst car wrecks police see, like rollovers, are caused from people swerving too hard. Also, if you brake hard enough, miss the bird, and get rear ended you're not at fault. The jerk tailgating you is going to get sited for causing the accident, at least in Florida because it is a 'no-fault' state.

i mean everything you are saying makes complete sense, and a lot of people have said similar things, but my natural instinct was to swerve. maybe next time when i encounter my infamous enemy, i will know better and plow right into them
