Well... the Yaris is officially stable.

Though other cars on the road aren't.

Passed numerous accidents, including a 7-car both-way pile-up involving vehicles, overpass support pillars, and at least one vehicle that tumbled apart like tin-foil across a farmer's field, and that's just what I spotted as I drove through. If I hadn't stopped for gas, I might have been involved in said accident.

As it was, I ended up dodging someone else spinning out, and eating muddy median for several hundred feet sideways, but the Yaris didn't even begin to tip over, for which I'm thankful. No damage but a lot of mud, took it to a heated car-wash, looks fine still.

But yeesh... I just hope I can make it to work later today. =-.-=

I don't want to have to attend your funeral.

Slow down and take it easy! Your reflexes are superb but if you don't alllow for the errors of others, someday you will get killed by someone else's stupid mistake.

Not the first time I've posted a comment like this after a (near or actual) accident you've been involved in.

Be safe and be well.

I am going slow...

...only 20-25mph on the interstate in fact.

The median-surfing was when I was stopping for a state-road-stoplight (Oklahoma 169 north) and someone tried to change lanes while stopping and hit black ice so they spun in front of me while going slower than I was. (They stopped medium-early and hard, I was stopping way early, and slowly.)

Simple dodge to glide to one side turned into going sideways from the far-left lane into the median for a'while and never really sinking into the mud because the Yaris is so light, and the mud was pretty icy once you got down an inch or two.
