    That's what happens when drivers set their seats like "gangsta-wanna-be's".

    Sit so low to where they cannot see their side mirrors while driving forward. Only time they look, is when they are turning, so they inch up the seat, take a glance, then "lean-back, lean-back, lean-back"

    What kind of jolt would that driver get? That is one rude wake up call.

    If it is anything like the bit on youtube with the slomo guys capping a straight truck? The stuntman said it was nothing more than a gentle lurch. Granted if the driver didnt use his mirrors he would have no clue what he had done untill he goes to dump it.

    I sit on the floor, but I'm also six and half feet tall. I also hate bouncing.
