Like i say we can agree to disagree. But i stand by my statement he shouldve been on breaks sooner.
INRUT Thanks this. -
Not to mention if it did happen to be ice . It is much easier to pull out of a jacknife from braking to hard then it is to pull out of it when u swerving over to the shoulder out of control

Danm, too close for comfort.
Like mentioned, wide angle 'fish eye' lenses on dash cams make things appear closer than they are. Also, changes in speed can be a bit delayed in showing on the display.
That said, I think he could have slowed more.
