On the way home from a friends house, i almost got in a wreck(wouldn't have been my fault). What the situation was is that i was traveling in the far right hand lane of a 3 lane road(not always smart but some nimrod was going 30 in the center lane a minute before). About a minute after i got into the right hand lane(so i had been there fore a while) a silver mercedes C-class decided he thought he could jump out right in front of me, and instead of just going quickly as soon as i hit my horn he stopped, dead in the middle of my lane. I hit my brakes, and being that it has been raining for the past 3 days, the wheels locked up. I then went to pumping and tried to steer around him, but as soon as i would start to turn the wheel would just lock up again, even with pumping the pedal. Luckily, he threw his c-class into reverse and i was able to get far enough to the left to avoid the very close accident. In this situation, what is the best thing to do? my car does not have abs/traction control, and untill i had hit my breaks there was a car directly to the left of me, and at the time it looked as if the c-class was planning on jumping all three lanes of traffic. What kind of evasive action should i have taken? obviously what i did this time worked, but if he hadn't backed up it may have very well been a wreck with two mercedes involved. Thanks
Ryan
