Went For A Spin Earlier, Managed To Get The Roof Down As It Was Sunny, Was Giving It The Beans When A Car Pulled Out In Front Of Me. I Slammed On The Anchors And It Pulled Me Hard Over To The Right Hand Side And I Was Inches Away From The Car Traveling In The Opposite Direction. This Has Never Happened To Me Before. Any Help Appreciated.......

Check your brakes for worn or sticking callipers or worn brake pads.

Definately get them seen to. Take to your friendly MOT garage and ask for a rolling road test to check the effectiveness of each brake.

Check your Shift key is not glued to your space bar.

Could also be tyre pressures, loose grip on the steering wheel, adverse camber and/or poor road surface?

Oh - and not looking far enough ahead and planning.............
