[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 244240, member: 1664"] Yep, Driving a P-400 at night in the rain, doing about 45mph. Crappy visibility. If you have ever driven a P-400, you know to never make a panic brake on a wet road. I topped a hill . The road goes down to a creek, no gaurd rails,and the walls of the creek are about 15 ft deep. Both sides of the road is steep ditches. The road then makes a hard 90 degree to the left. 100 yards in front of me I see. Spread out all over the road at the bottom of the hill is a herd of Black Angus cows, about 20 of them. Since I had no option, I got in the middle of the road. In the second before impact, I saw a dark space and aimed for it. I realized then I was about to impact one of them and that cow looked up just feet before the impact. Her horns touch the side of my truck. I still cannot believe I did'nt wipeout that night. I have been in many close calls in my life, but that one took the cake. PAX [/QUOTE]
