There is a fwy exit here in Salt Lake that can be "taken" at 50+ or so and I
often do that while passing cars in the other 2 lanes. My Westy rolls some
but is VERY stable in this kind of situation. Haven't had to avoid a moose
yet, but can appreciate that the laws of physics for quick/defensive
maneuvres may shine differently on my tall box.
