Re: Reasonable defaults - instinctive swerve

I wonder to this day how many other vehicles managed to avoid the Jimny before someone piled into the back of it at 40 - 50 - 60 MPH, causing another huge pileup.

There's a lot of that sort of footage on YT. Just one of the reasons I am much more inclined to stretch my following distances out even more these days.

(An internal debate - being back from the traffic I am a little more likely to be rear-ended, up with the traffic I am more likely to be hit from the side or involved in something like this.. Where I can I do a "get well ahead of them" which the cops seem to prefer riders do these days - a good bubble of emptiness around me (to compliment the one I'm told is in my head! :) )
