ABS - Day 27 of #30daysofthanks

As I drove down the two laned road a car pulled out from the shoulder to my right, attempted to u-turn in front of me and couldn't make it in one try.  So he backed up and tried again.  All while my brakes were grinding with the sound of the ABS engaging.  I leaned into my horn as I was not going to be able to stop on the black ice.  He got the hint and I just missed hitting his left rear panel.  All I got for "encouraging" him to go faster - he flipped me the bird.  But in taking things positively and with thanks, I am thankful that I had ABS which I am sure kept me out of an accident today.
