    About 4.5 times the distance that 98% of all cars that were travelling at 75 mph cut off and slam on the brakes in front of an empty 72' length, gross weight of 80,000 lb tractor trailer.

    Its one of those "Final Destination" things where stupid people are always trying to find someone to help them die.
