  Yeah, it sure is! Fortunately this has only happened to me
once (that I remember) but it was a similar situation, swerving
to avoid a car that pulled out in front of me, on a muddy road
no less. What took probably 1-2 seconds felt more like 30. I
guess the adrenaline kicks in and the body speeds up to compensate?

  Anyway, glad to hear you (and your Dak) are OK!!
