I'll keep this brief, but it's a testament to how well AWD and traction control systems work these days.
I was on a major highway going 80 in the left lane and passing a couple of cars. At the last minute, a minivan begins to merge into my car.
I paniced as the only way I could avoid a collision was to go "offroading." Two of my wheels quickly went off the pavement and onto the grass/slope and then the other two followed. I was so worried that my car would spin out in the soft grass and mud, but....I survived! the car stayed straight, all the idiot lights blinking and a plume of dust, but I managed to slow my speed and get back on the highway.
The guy that ran into me pulled over, as did I, to make sure he was ok and not having some sort of heart attack. It was a kid and his dad. The kid had just gotten his license and was a new driver.
I was that kid once, and it's easy to make mistakes, so the anger subsided. They were good people that made a mistake. Thankfully this car got me through it! Best investment in a vehicle I've made in a long time
