I saw it at the last second and stomped on the gas pedal as hard as I could, and thank God the other car didn't hit me... I think they hit the brakes too, cause they dropped back pretty far and eventually went around me. But sweet Jesus, there was a huge pucker factor when I saw those headlights...
Drunks are terrible on FE aren't they.
