Default Had a nice scare this morning thanks to a Wrangler.

I Pull out of my driveway and start driving up the street. I'm in Boston and the roads were covered in snow because of everyone digging out their cars.
As I'm driving, I see a Jeep Wrangler coming in the opposite direction. No Big deal until he suddenly turns sideways and starts moving down the road at a 90 degree angle, then drifiting past the center line towards me and my 2001. I swerve to the right (in the room allowed) and narrowly miss a guy digging his car out. No damage.

I don't understand how that guy was able to go from driving in a straight line to driving horizontally and not hit anything. Not even a parked car.

My roommate was watching from his window and couldn't believe the Wrangle didn't hit me.
