General And my wife wonders why I am constantly checking my mirrors

[kvr28]

It's insane how many people drive with no awareness of their surroundings

Same thing happened to me when my sister was driving... Freeway came to a stop, she pops out onto the shoulder and I was like wtf then half a second later a car from behind slammed into the car in front of us.

Good maneuver to have in my memory. Though suppose the car that couldn't stop in time swerved into the left shoulder and hits you, would you be at fault because you shouldn't have been in the left shoulder?

No, it's incumbent upon the vehicle behind to maintain a safe distance and speed. You get rear ended, it's their fault... this isn't prison rules.

No, you would be fine

I couldn't even understand the question

Is CB from Somalia or perhaps female?

That's defensive driving juan 0 juan.

the current generation who grew up driving with cams on all 4 corners of the car plus front and back are going to be fucked. they never have to use mirrors and will be screwed if that shit stops working

I do love the "yep that's why I moved" like a boss

In a situation like this I always leave room to get out and spend more time watching the mirror than the windshield. I’d rather get honked at to go than slammed in the ass because I didn’t see someone barreling up behind me. Ex-wife was 3 vehicles up from end of a line and work truck hit the last vehicle so hard that the vehicles up through 2 ahead of her were slammed into each other. The person immediately ahead of her jumped out and started cussing her thinking she hit him because she wasn’t looking. She told him if ever checked his mirror he would have seen that she was stopped behind home for a couple of minutes before the collision.

Been there too a few years back. Did the same thing the driver in the video did and watched the car behind me get hit by the car behind that one. If I hadn't moved then for sure the car behind me would've bumped into me as well so fuck all that...
