I just began commuting with my new vehicle and not 30 seconds after getting on the interstate, some guy one car ahead of me slams on their brakes and the person behind them tries to cut right but rear-end's anyway. I hold down my brakes and miss the car directly ahead of me by a couple feet at most (my following distance was fine, just I was checking people on the on ramp merging in case I needed to lane-change, causing my reaction to be delayed).
If I had more scares like that, I wouldn't need to pay for coffee. |
