Log that close? Same thing op would. Die.

Never noticed that the logs fell off the side and bounced! The log would slow and the car would still be hauling ass, right?
And for those of you scared of log trucks, nothing can make a log slide off the top while driving down the road. They are jammed on there with friction.
EDIT: The log is still going 65mph (for argument’s sake). You’re still going 65mph (for argument’s sake). The log will slow on the bounce, a little, you’ll jam the brakes and slow more, it will still look like a fucking torpedo.
I have enough trust towards brake technology that I assume your car can stop faster than a log. I ass-pulled that assumption tho.
Brakes can absolutely stop faster than a log falling off a truck. Your reaction time is the main concern.
Wouldn’t you have about the same reaction time as if the truck was braking tho? I mean, the momentum will carry the log in the direction the truck was going until it dissipates, which is kinda the same as braking.
I mean, that situation would obviously be dangerous because you don’t wanna stop on a freeway for obvious reasons, but still, if you adhered to common safety rules, you should be okay in that situation, no?
i’d argue a bouncing log takes a lot longer to slow down than your average car hitting the brakes
Floor it in the hope my pulverized corpse takes the fucker with me
I wouldn’t have been anywhere near that close to a fckn logging truck of all things.
I’m surrounded by forestry operations where I live. I can’t go anywhere without getting stuck behind a logging truck on winding and often slippery broads. It’s amazing how complacent I’ve become with these things.
Press f9
Inertia says that the log is moving roughly the same speed as the truck, so I’ll apply the brakes and move to the right.
might have hit the ground and bounced
Sure, but it’s skidding across the pavement, not flying at my face at 75mph. I can stop faster than it can.
Terrifying is the video I saw of bricks falling off of an oncoming truck, coming through the windshield.
We’re you trying to re-traumatize everyone? Fuck that video. There’s maybe 3 videos ever online that can do that and that video is 2 of them, at least.
I am still happy I never actually watched it and just saw the thumbnail. I do not want the horrors described by the comments.
The video doesn’t show anything. It’s just the brick coming through the windshield. The sound is what’s haunting.
I know. Does not change my stance.
It’s the scream of realisation. Haunting.
No the log actually has a hidden rocket motor in the side not visible to us and is accelerating to escape velocity towards the car.
Try to avoid the big logs.
Shit myself.
Realistically, same, right after being crayoned by the log.
Probably crash, my car is right hand drive so I don’t think the log hits me, but I’m pretty sure I’m not prepared to control a car after that kind of impact.
swerve right asshole
assholes always swerve right
Before this happened I would have given myself double the distance to the truck avoiding the situation completely
Swerve right with medium braking. Depending on the logs either swerve back in, or more likely crash into the guardrail as slow as possible, any oole/structure could take a lifesaving hit before you do.
Turn on the Improbability Drive. And certainly not improbably watch out for sperm whales falling from the sky.
Activate the Omega 13 device!
In every universe, Alan Rickman is just tired of this shit.
