Apollo Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane, QLD, Australia Registered: May 2002	Re: Im thankful i own a supra. Fri, 23 July 2004 10:09 How were the other cars infront? Written off? This reminds me back to wednesday. I was going down the gateway in the area of the brackenridge turnoff (inbound to city on my way to ACU), and coming to that "corner bridge" (those that know the road will know what I mean), and I'm in a line overtaking, so I'm in the right lane, there's me, two motorbikes infront and infront of those a magna, we were probably doing at least 110 while overtaking. Now while we were coming around the corner, the traffic had stopped, the magna slows pretty quick, so do the bikes, and I'm still on about the apex of the corner, so when I rapidly slow, the car dives to the left, and then instinct just kicked in, I actually came off the brake with a possible magna - two bikes - me sandwich coming up, as soon as I feel the car weight shift back, I apply the brakes again to just before traction loss, then I ease off, then apply again to almost traction loss, rinse and repeat, (thank goodness I practice poor mans ABS when I can). In the mean time I see I would safely stop intime though, (due to me not tailgating), but the guys on the bikes were thinking straight too and for their (mostly), safety, they shooted off into the left lane as they had it clear and accellerated hard (there was a little open road for them in the left), to avoid the other car that was next to me coming up behind them. And the reason for the traffic stopping was apparent further up where there was a crash. But man, after thinking of what I did, would anyone else have let off the brake like I did? I'm sure I stopped quicker than what a camry should. Plus I'm damn glad the guy behind me wasn't tailing me either or he would have slammed me. But man, sucks that your situation wasn't the same as mine. Your poor supra won't be the same again. Especially after insurance companies use their dodgy fixers. Oh yea, go get a checkup too.
