Forced to swerve into lane
#43
Mirrors adjusted out is what I was taught (my Dad told me that it was a rare car with a back that didn't follow its front), and it definitely minimizes or outright eliminates blind spots. My wife, though, is set in her way, and she puts on a lot more miles than I do these days. I like the idea of the Honda Sense lane change camera, but I'm not sure how well I'll take to it in practice because I think the main thing is to be situationally aware at all times, not just when making a move.
I too like to pass with authority, for my own safety. And, I think with a smaller-than-average car like the Fit, bright colors are a sensible choice for visibility.
Given a choice between diving for a known hole or braking, I'd go for the known hole, but if I've been daydreaming (it happens to the best of us) then I'd brake and count on the truck's speed carrying it past me.

Drifting
Earlier today while driving on the freeway, a big rig decided to switch lanes into the lane I was driving on without actually realizing I was there.
What do you guys do in situations similar to this? I always seem to panic and swerve into the other lane beside me, praying that no one is there. Thankfully, every single time this happens to me, I don't hit anyone.
