    Loved the idiot that blew their horn at the last moment. At least the police will have no problem catching the idjut.

    Why do some people swear up and down that things like this didn’t happen before social media and the internet?

    Cause we were around before the computer stuff and rarely did this stupidity happen- Yes,We had accidents- But not anywhere like today....

    How do I know? Cause Ive lived and Drove through both era's....

    The Stupidity of Humans has reached all time levels........ Not even close to comparison- People took accountability for their actions- Unlike many today.

    And If I miught add- You sound like you condone this particular incident as "Ah,Its just an accident" Well,Its NOT just an accident, Its pure Braindead Fluff upstairs driving that fast thru Pea Soup Fog......You Literally have to be braindead.

    Right there is a reason they push for automatic braking .. even if suv never clipped his steer tire he was hitting something .

    FLARES!!!!
    IMMEDIATELY!!!!
    then clean it up.
    They are walking around like it's a spring day??
    YOU ARE IN THE DEAD ZONE!!!

    They're out there..... and they drive.
    Who needs headlights? That light shooting out the front slows you down.
