Maybe if a kid ran out onto the road, but there was nothing in the road to swerve from. I just don't get the connection between, minor explosion in the car = hard right turn. Why not just brake.

Breaking hard with a full load can cause a truck to go out of control. What's the matter with you? Usually, you seem so thoughtful and intelligent. I would have thought you'd have seen the Smokey & the Bandit movies, or at least caught a few episodes of BJ & the Bear.
