It was raining on my way to work one morning recently; not heavily, but enough to make the roads slick. In my rear view mirror I saw a vehicle cut another vehicle off, moving from the right lane to the left. They turned too hard and were going too fast and proceeded to violently swerve across both lanes of traffic, over-correcting and going back to the other lane, probably four times before they got things under control. I thought there would be a multi-car pileup, going 55+ MPH.

I want to approach todays “What would you do?” a little differently.  When I write these I always write the scenario and then write what I would do after.  This time I wrote down what I learned in drivers-education, then did an Internet search and found that what I was taught is a bit outdated.  It makes sense.  When I was learning to drive, front wheel drive was about as popular as rear wheel drive.  For years, the only options have been front or all-wheel drive.  There also wasn’t any such thing as ABS(anti-lock brake system) and headlights were often still turned on with your foot.

So today I would like you to think about how you would react to skidding out of control.  Then take a look at the video below that I found at Defensive Driving.com and the article they wrote on “What To Do If Your Car Skids”

So, what would you do?

Due to a prolonged drought and high temperatures over the course of the last three months, water reservoirs are at an all-time low.  Local governments have asked citizens to use water sparingly and there is a burning ban in effect, as well as a watering ban on all lawns.

Areas that are not normally at risk for wild fires are in danger of seeing them.  Your town has an ongoing wildfire that has already claimed ten homes and unless the winds change direction or firefighters find a way to stop it, the fire could be in your neighborhood in a matter of two to three hours.

So, what would you do?

Due to drought, wild fires and wheat blight throughout several parts of the country, as well as rapidly increasing inflation, the cost of groceries is now costing most families 30% of their income compared to the roughly 10% from the year before.

So, what would you do?
