I did a similar maneuver in a blizzard last year. Thought I was dead for sure with the two 18 wheelers that were involved. If I was in any less powerful of a truck and hasn't put the sandbags over my rear axle there is now way I would have gotten enough traction to pull it off. Had driven my first three northern winters without the sandbags, but added them after a friend urged me to

Have you never seen Final Destination? Don't get cocky, dick. Glad your wife is ok. And you.

Cliff notes of what really happened.
OP was driving while getting head from mistress.
OP swerved and caused several cars to wreck but he escaped unscathed and didn't stop to help anyone.
OP is back home after dropping off mistress. He and family are fine.
Edit for: OP purchased lottery ticket and didn't win.

Had to go from West Ga. to Covington to pick up my oldest daughter from an overnight team building event. Loaded my other 3 kids in the Suburban at 1:00pm and headed East on I-20.Drove about 55 miles and was around Lithonia driving in the second lane from the wall. Traffic was flowing about 75-80mph.
I've nearly wiped out in that area a couple of times back when I lived in Georgia. I nearly put the Silverado I drove in those days on it's side once when a car spun out in front of me.

I have had stage IV Lymphoma twice. This was my 3rd close call in a vehicle since age 17. I am 46. My wife was not in the car.

You are not kidding. More recklessness and lack of situational awareness occurs on I-20 from about Douglasville to Conyers than anywhere.

How many people died so you could pull of your awesome maneuver?

29. 8 in critical condition at Hillendale.

see more freaking idiotic drivers on 20 than anywhere else in the ATL area. Basically from just east of Bham to through E Augusta is a shitshow and I may get banned for elaborating a major reason why that is.
Georgia drivers are the worst. I feel like everyone I know has a close call story from a time they drove in Georgia.

So instead of helping possibly injured drivers you worry about posting this and lottery tickets. You're a special kind of a-hole, Dick.
Or you just completely made this up which is most likely.

God must patrol that stretch of freeway.
About 20 years ago I drove into a similar situation in that area, eastbound like you. Many cars were doing 70 in the left lane. The driver in front of me had her windshield shattered by a tractor trailer tire tread. I fully expected her to lose control and crash. I slowed as much as I could without having the people behind me smash into me.
The driver in front of me held her lane without panicking and slowed slightly until she could move to the right shoulder. Everyone got out of her way.
No harm. No foul!
