I had a school bus pull out in front of me when I was traveling at 65 MPH in a van. It was so bad that I had to swerve onto the gravel shoulder and pass the bus on the right. The gravel was too soft to apply the brakes and steer, so I just concentrated on maintaining control and gently crept back onto the pavement ahead of the bus.
Speaking of people pulling out and leaving no time to brake; on that same road, just a quarter mile away from where the bus had pulled out in front of me, a car did the same thing. That incident was so severe that I had to steer left as violently as traction would allow, and that sent me off the left side of the road, off a 2ft drop into a farmers field. I always wondered if the guy noticed what he had caused as I whizzed past him and out into the field. He didn't stop.
I had to drive about a half mile through the field to find a slope onto the raised road. Man that Subie was an incredible machine.
