Message	". I jumped on my brakes to try and avoid the car because he was close enough to the point where he would have hit me, however it was about 15 degree's outside and the tires didn't grip. The brakes locked up and I was sent into a curb, and a wooden sign/post." He didn't swerve, he hit the brakes and they locked. His first instinct was to avoid contact. After his tires lost grip, he was out of control. Driver ability probably played a part in the wreck after the wheels locked up, but I agree with his first instinct. What would you have done differently?
