My point was, unless they were intentionally trying to hit you, if you braked at from 80 to 65mph at 9/10ths the limit of your car, the SUV would have probably rolled attempting to avoid you. An extra 2000lbs, balanced on the top of an SUV doesn't exactly allow it to handle well during trail-braking manuvers.

...and, you *are* going to have to tell us the whole story sooner or later, so you might as well that 15 minutes at lunch today to write up a nice entertaining version of the events.
