| Close Call
I was on my way to work this morning and the car in front of me slammed on his brakes. I knew I could stop, the SLK brakes have been good to me so far... but I wasn't sure if the guy behind me on the motorcycle could stop in time... so when I stopped, I went onto the shoulder to give the guy some extra stopping room.
It's a good thing I did. I bunch of burnt rubber later, and I see the motorcycle sliding by my driver's door on it's side. Without the rider.
4 of us got out of our cars to make sure he was ok, and helped him pick up his bike. He was ok.
I keep thinking about how much worse things could have been... had he slid under the SLK, or ended up going over the SLK.
All in the daily commute. UGH!
