goes in order
1 - 2
3 - 4
1, Red car overtakes me and turns left, did indicate so i saw it coming and had time to brake
2, road all clear so i plan to get out of saddle to do a 5 second effort sprint
3, green car starts to turn into road to my left (mega OOooooOOooHHHHhh shittttttt)
4, two handfuls of front/rear brake, rear wheel skidz like never before pretty much tailwhipping was pretty sure i was going to hit the deck, then my brakes surprised me by stopping me just in time to let the car pass, about one foot away from death
