Just when you think it's over.

Good time for people exit their wrecked cars and stand around in in the middle of a highway. /s

Holy shit. That was not expected.

Apparently inline videos are a thing now? I lost motivation to post because having to leave the webpage every time was annoying. The community didn’t completely die thanks to /u/banned@sh.itjust.works (thanks again), but I'm back and I’ll keep posting a least once a day.

It’s funny, before I watched the video I thought to myself, “Here in Houston we haven’t had safe following distances in decades.”

Watches video. Ah, Houston. 👌

Bonus points for a truck with spools 😂

Its not just me right? Every driver in that video was doing something stupid and careless? Filmer, truck driver, car that said fuck it and kept driving after collision, entrance/exit lane cars that were fluttering brakes or driving off the white lines? This can't be what highways in Texas are like all the time.

... until the semi came along this is exactly my normal commute looks like every day in Texas. If anything the traffic was looking great and fairly controlled compared to normal. I'm used to having to pass 1-3 3+ car accidents each way on my commute every day.

Looks like everyone just gave up driving at this precise moment

[–] Gullible@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The completely stopped truck in front, why didn’t they just continue driving and merge?

[–] Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

They would have to be at least a tiny bit aware of their surroundings and have a reaction time under 30 seconds for that to be a possibility. Difficult to do when your face is buried in your phone like everyone else down here.

Wow, just wow!

If only he paid attention to the other cars around him and acted accordingly.

Link is broken for me. Is there a mirror link?

iOS/Safari
