  • The problem is the lane where you are driving, not the speed

  • well for one, both cars are parallel so of course one will hit a different location of the truck. secondly, the driver of the second car could avoid being impaled by simply correcting his steering.

  • watch this video with the sound turned all the way up.when the semi crosses there path it scares the shit out of ya

  • This ad is a poor representation of speed differences... if the change in road conditions happens while the cars of varying speeds are side by side, the reaction will come almost instantaneous to both drivers, therefore, the 27kph difference wouldnt exist... it'd only be like 5-10kph.

  • @TheDragonKnight777 Oh are you? Well now you learned something new, so its all good in the end. =]

  • @PandaMagicFTW I actually am.

  • @TheDragonKnight777 K I just checked out your channel, and it doesn't seem like your not old enough to drive yet. So, I don't blame you for not knowing any of this. I'm not trying to be mean, but your wrong, don't try to argue about it please.

  • @TheDragonKnight777 Well I'm telling you it isn't. "Stopping faster", NOT crashing, 2 different things. Your body is completely capable of withstanding the Gs associated with braking a car. Obviously drive slower when there are puddles... If you know anything about racing then you should know to accelerate when turning a corner for more grip, allowing you to turn with optimum speed. Aside from all that, I said faster car, not driving faster. A fast car can stop ALOT quicker then a slow car.

  • @PandaMagicFTW Still, it can be damaging. Going faster does NOT help. The faster you go, the worse you would hydroplane. The faster you go, the less time you have to react. Going faster does NOT give better grip. Stopping faster does not help either, with the G-forces and stopping suddenly, propelling you into the hot airbags at high velocity. And, if you go faster, it takes longer to brake. It's simple physics.

  • @TheDragonKnight777 That's nowhere near the necessary amount of G force to cause a person to go unconscious, let alone die. Think about it like this. Some bikes and cars can reach 0-100km/h in 2 seconds, and obviously the drivers haven't died from the "X" number of Gs that created. So that means stopping from 100-0km/h in 2 seconds you would still only experience the nonlethal "X" number of Gs. You can't die from internally stopping a car.
