May This Near-Death Experience Teach You How Not To Pass A Truck
May This Near-Death Experience Teach You How Not To Pass A Truck-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:23

When a line of cars is zooming past a semi-truck on a busy two-lane road, please don't blindly follow them without reckoning how far away oncoming traffic is.

See it all from the dashcam of the rig being passed. Action just after 01:45.

In the defense of the poor bastard who cooked his tires trying to avoid being consumed by another oncoming semi, they surely didn't realize traffic in their own lane would slow down so abruptly right as he was about to switch back over. It looks like they just panicked and locked the brakes, luckily(ish) for them the oncoming trucker swerved enough to tear the side of the car off as opposed to munching it head-on.

Hat tip to !

The Problem With 'Murdered Out' Special Editions
There is something simple that is very distracting and annoying and arguably wrong about this new special edition GMC Terrain “Nightfall” special edition. Can you spot it? It’s the dumb, distracting, ugly chrome strip around the windows that they forgot to black out. This is a problem on a couple...

Wow Somebody Turned A BMW X5 Into A Ridiculous Off-Road Machine
The BMW X5 is advertised as off-road capable, but come on—you’d have to do something crazy like hacking all of the bumpers off for steel tubes. Throw a cage in there. Tires like dragonskin and, wait, no, some dude actually did that. Behold, the first truly badass BMW X5 I’ve...

The Roadtrek CS Adventurous Is A Toilet-Equipped Mercedes You Can Live In
There are people who are comfortable enough with the idea of regularly sleeping in a car out of preference and not necessity. I’m not one of them. Give me a van, however, and I’ll happily drive across the country for years. Enter the Roadtrek CS Adventurous, aiming to be the...

This Sure Looks Like Volkswagen's New SUV In An Insanely Clever Disguise
This Sure Looks Like Volkswagen's New SUV In An Insanely Clever Disguise
Normally when car prototypes are seen running around public streets, they use this goofy, to throw off spy photographers. That’s not the case with whatever this thing is. We suspect it’s the new Volkswagen three-row SUV, and it’s wearing a most impressive disguise. These photos of a trio of SUVs...
