If you have actually been in 100 situations in which your bacon needed saving while in a car, then you are either a stunt car driver, or are trying to be ...just saying :-)

40 years of driving. Six of those years in military vehicles on busy airbases or heavy trucks on well travel highways. I have clocked way more miles than the "average" driver. At least 100 times I have had to power out of danger. Only 10 of those were serious though (as I said).
You have never had to accelerate to miss some ass hat changing lanes?
I don't think that my saying I have had to do it 2.5 times a year for my driving history is overstating nor placing me in the stunt driver realm.
