Wife and I were driving northbound on a 2 lane country road at 5:30pm. Weather conditions clear, 68 degrees (F). Roadway dry. Probably 45 to 50mph. Speed limit is 45mph.
I see a white sedan coming toward us in the southbound lane, he's a 1/4 mile away. But we are closing distance and everything is normal. He is in his lane. I'm in my lane.
Next thing I know, he's crossing the center line coming at us. TEXTING ON HIS PHONE
I swerve off the road into the grass. He missed me by less than 12". Wife is screaming, she thinks we are going to die. Fortunately no deep ditch at that point along the roadway. Maintain momentum and pull the car back onto the roadway. I looked in my rearview and he was fully in my lane. His brake lights were lit up and I watched as he jerked back into his lane.
I honestly don't believe I could have maintained control of the vehicle if I was driving one of our other vehicles but I was in my Audi A6, which handles exceptionally well. I'd possibly have rolled my Touareg in the small ditch that existed along the road where I went off the pavement.
FUCKING ASSHOLE
If I was not on my way to the airport to pick up Melen I'd have probably turned the car around and chased him down to beat his scrawny ass.
