A tiny bit of excitement on today’s route. I was headed north on my Vstrom.
You can barely see that there are two vehicles side-by-side as they approach the traffic signal. The split-screen covers the one on the left, but he’s there.
As the light changed, the vehicle on the left made it through the light cleanly. The car on the right stopped. You could say that vehicle stopped short….in front of a semi but…..
The semi was a bit slow getting on the brakes, locked them up and veered slightly to the right towards the empty shoulder.
As soon as I heard the tires skidding, I moved left and was ready jump in the left turn lane's stopped vehicle line if the trailer began to swing our way. Luckily, all we got out of it was a pretty good whiff of burning tires!
