I had hauled the Bonnie down quite a bit when the car stopped about 50 feet in front of me. If the car had continued moving across my path, I would have cleared its back bumper. It was a good reality check to compare my parking lot panic stop practice to a real panic situation and to realize that it really doesn't have the greatest brakes, but it's something I can factor in for the future. I actually got a "Good Job" from the investigating officer when he saw that there weren't any skid marks on the street behind my bike and realized how little damage there was to either vehicle.
