Holy cow, watch the video at the link for some craziness. Glance in your mirrors people, when you are breaking...

I agree with the article rear brake no no and escape route = win.

THERE's a big freaking shock.



I was watching and cringed when the rear locked up - either way, that was ending badly.

Yeah he wasn't crushed... if you look closely he was thrown slightly to his right and to the right of the car that hit him. But still got smoked and F'ed up.

And you always "get the big picture" and "always leave yourself an out"

2 keys he didn't do.

This is the reason you need to learn to split lanes when traffic is stopped.

I would have just reacted by swerving between the cars instead of locking up the rear like this guy did.

I kept staring at the white HHR about 6 cars back take a complete nose dive. The first time I watched it I was like "shit, shit, shit". I thought he was going to plow into somebody and start a chain reaction.

I think the punishment in such situations should be much more severe...

I used to work with a woman who was permanently disabled after a girl ran over her and her husband on their bike... She pulled out of a 7/11, t-boned them, and ran them over trying to flee. Turns out a cop was RIGHT there and witnessed the whole thing...

No license, no insurance... She ended up spending a few months in jail, and that's it... They tried to sue her, but she didn't have anything... so they went after her parents (who freely admitted that they bought her the car and paid for her gas, knowing that she had no license/insurance)... no dice.

Her husband is pretty much fully recovered, but she's on a walker the rest of her life (in her late 40's) because her humerous was pretty much completely replaced by a titanium rod and her one leg is like an inch shorter than the other...

They still ride though... :rockwoot:

have a buddy that rides a trike because of being run over from behind.

had it almost happen to me in stopped traffic, heard tires squealing and I just instinctively pulled up between two cars. looked back to see a young woman parked where I had been with a stupid I'm sorry look on her face.

Rear-end Crash Video

A car crash sandwiches a motorcycle driver, thrusting him onto the highway and leaving him with a broken rib.
