It can happen so fast!

This is what we saw behind us as we were driving back to Santa Rosa on a rainy Monday. A car ahead of us spun out and the traffic came to an ABRUPT halt. Fortunately Mike is an amazing defensive driver! He took the van with trailer in tow onto the grassy median. As we flew past cars on either side he kept it in control the whole way, not once overreacting to the fishtailing trailer. On the other shoulder, an 18 wheeler was doing the same thing! Unfortunately Laura and Ryan weren't so lucky. A 7-up truck couldn's stop quick enough and smoked them from behind. No one was hurt and if all goes well, 7-up will buy them a new car :-)! Posted by Picasa
