I very rarely have to bail but it does happen occasionally. One time I was a narrow road (one lane per direction, double yellow line) near my house. The road is very hilly and in the valley between two of the hills is a railroad crossing. I am approaching the railroad crossing. There is a car approaching it from the opposite direction and a tractor trailer behind it. The car slows down to go over the tracks and the tractor trailer tries to pass it by moving over into my lane. My choice was pull off the road or go head-first into the tractor trailer. I chose door number one.
