Well, how smart petters move was, can we discuss to the bitter end. Put yourself in same situation, you know that you are stuk if you left the trottle. You don't see anything around you, but you know that the road change direction in front of you. An angle difference of 10 degrees make your way back on road atleast 100m longer, so you give trottle and hope for the best. When we know the result maybe not the smartest move, but you would probably do exactly the same if it was you inside that car in that moment. Its to easy to critisise Petter and Chris for this, most of us would do exactly the same.
