Yes. That’s how I was taught to drive a commuter bus in NY/NJ. Off the record of course. “Stay in your lane kid. Hands on the wheel, nothing evasive. Better to take the hit.” But like you said, instincts get in the way sometimes.Thanks again for all the replies. I realize it's a long shot, but worse comes to worse I'll scrap the Jeep or sell it for parts on FB. I can probably break even on it, so at the end of the day it's not the worst outcome. I can drive my Volt through the rest of winter, I hope, and I'll just find another beater for next season.
I really should have just smoked the guy. Darn my natural reactions.
