Years ago was coming back from Bragg Creek late at night.
I was booking it along at highway speeds and noticed a semi wanting to turn left across the highway in front of me. At the last moment, when I was far too close to him to brake, he started to turn basically blocking the highway.
Knowing I was going far too fast to try to stop, I swerved to my left as much as I could, which basically meant going partway into oncoming traffic - where there was another large truck coming through.
As I saw this unfold - I figured I was done. I didn't think there was enough room between the two trucks for me to get through - but somehow I "threaded the needle" and came out the other side. I quickly pulled over and it took me about 15 minutes to re-gain my composure.
To this date I hate making that drive.
I have no idea what the guy was thinking.
