I really love how everybody on youtube is such a god damn expert on what people should be doing, or making critics of what kind of vehicles people should be driving, seriously just because you happened to have this shit captured through the wonderful technology known has video photography, it doesn't suddenly make you a fucking expert on what happened.

Sometimes accidents fucking happen, and what choices people make one what they drive really isn't any of your business so fuck off.

@psp10004 Oic, i didn't know that. Hummer looks really tough. In my country we only have the H3. I guess Volvo X90 would be a better car

[psp10004]

@hyerxmas Hummer is a terrible car, crash test relieve that a sedan volvo, mercedes or a bmw would be a safer car. hummer's sides are practically sidebar-less and that the only strong par is the front metal thingy

@DJKloop I was a jurror on a trial about 2 or 3 years ago. The person who was sued slammed on his brakes and caused the driver behind him to rear end the first driver. We found the man who slammed on his brakes guilty based on the evidence provided. We rewarded the man who slammed in the back of the driver who hit his brakes on purpose $550 thousand dollars. It was an interesting case.

You're right. I should have thought about the consequences before I posted my response. So let me re-think what I posted. Let's see...tthinking...thinking.... ok, fine... I will give them THREE brake light warnings instead of 2 - that sounds more fair. After that, they go around or they will be giving me their insurance information. idiots aren't the one slamming on the brakes - the idiots are the ones following too closely and not using common sense to leave space. Sucks to be an idiot.

[DJKloop]

@TheBunkyboy AND THATS WHAT AN IDIOT WOULD DO !!! if someone is too close - let them pass ! dont join the idiot club by slamming on the brakes and causing even more of a problem. yes its irritating and i would love to slam my brakes on but i have a brain and a general consideration for other life. 2 wrongs dont make a right .......

[TheBunkyboy]

the first driver probably did what i would do - hit your brakes if the tailgaters don't back off after several warnings. all of the other idiots are at fault because they were following too closely or they would not have hit the person in front of them. there is no response that can justify any other answer of who's right and who's wrong. if people are impatient, then leave earlier. if you have road rage, take the freakin bus.
