Default Re: Happy to say it's safe

I didn't hit anything. The first swerve (to avoid hitting SUV) was a bit more than a minor swerve, but the swerve to miss the wall was a full on yank on the steering wheel. It may have airbags - but I didn't want to hit the wall head on. But when I yanked the steering wheel the second time I missed the wall and was still in complete control of the car. I didn't feel anything strange, but then again, I wasn't really "feeling" the steering wheel - I was thinking of the best way to avoid the most serious of injuries and thinking of my partner and kids.

My guess would be that it was the VDIM. I once had to swerve to avoid an accident in a 4runner and that little yank on the steering wheel almost made me flip and the truck was all over the road.
