It was the sprinting after it that was the problem, as immediately after the car merged he stopped at a red light. I swerved to the side to try to go around and ended up smacking the rear of his car with the side of my body. Since this all occured while going up hill it was all relatively slow.

In any case I had planned on putting my brake back on tonight anyway, and I think it shall remain there until monster track.
Stay safe. I am far from a skidding expert, but back pedal very hard and you shall stop, hopefully before you hit the car.
