Default Happy to say it's safe

Well, today I got to really test out some of those saftey features.

I was on the hwy behind a big dump truck dropping rocks. I signaled to get into the lane to my left. The car in that lane pulled back a little and waved for me to go ahead. I was almost into the lane when a SUV from the far left lane decided to go across three lanes. I swerved to barely miss him. Unfortunately, this was the point in the hwy that took a sharp left turn and when I swerved to the right, there was the wall to the overpass. I swerved severely to avoid crasshing straight on into the wall. I never lost controll of the car, no skidding, no fishtailing, nothing.

I've very happy that I didn't have to learn how good the airbags are!!
