Had to properly test my brakes tonight when a drink driver having just crashed in to a gate post reversed out of a side road onto the main road I was doing the national speed limit on. Thankfully my brakes are fully serviced up and uprated pretty much everything so they stopped the car quick when the Suzuki car appeared in front of me from no where. Having come to a halt about 2 meters max from the side of the Suzuki I watched as the obviously drunk driver drive off up the side road he had just reversed out of and straight in to a telegraph pole (bringing down the phone lines) and removing a wheel from the Suzuki. Obviously I called the police and distracted the driver until they turned up. Turns out the car was stolen too as well as the driver being drunk.
I honestly don't think I could have stopped any quicker in anything else. It was the closest I think I've ever come to being wiped out in my car.
Thank goodness for good brakes!
