Wow, that is terrible...

While I do not presume to know the details of the incident, and certianly can't look out his eyes during the incident, I can use this incident to reinforce 2 things we cover at Audi Club events.

1. Look away from change. You tend to go where you look. Looking at animals, junk falling off a truck, small children running into the street, approaching walls/trees, etc in an emergency situation will only tend to make you end up hitting them. Look where you want to be/go, not at the thing you want to avoid. this is incrediably difficult to do and requires regular practice on and off the track.

2. Turn first, brake later. Unless there is nowhere to go, turning is often a much better method of avoiding something than braking. from 60 MPH, it take over 100ft to stop, but only a car length or two to move a car width to the left or right.
